YUM Repository issues


I'm attempting to get the latest "autofs" from. Below is the command and results that I get when trying:

sudo yum install autofs
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.genesishosting.com
* extras: mirror.cs.pitt.edu
* updates: mirror.team-cymru.com
http://mirror.mobap.edu/centos/7.6.1...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.mobap.edu/centos/7.6.1...ta/repomd.xml: (28, 'Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 30 seconds')
Trying other mirror.
http://mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net/...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net/...ta/repomd.xml: (28, 'Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 30 seconds')
Trying other mirror.

This suggested to me that the repository that I'm attempting to use is down/not available.

How I access another repository and how do I get a list of available repositories that can be used?

Thanks

It suggests to me that your internet connection is too slow, given that two different mirrors timed out. Both of those links worked for me.
Check to see if that's the case, and if it is, resolve that problem. That is, it doesnt' appear to be a yum problem, per se.

I've tried several thing trying to get yum to work. I strongly believe that internet connection is OK, I don't have any other issue with it. I've even used a different connection from another ISP and go the same results. I've searched the internet and found that Red Hat might have answer to this problem, however I don't have a partner subscription. They acknowledge an issue with yum on April 15th, 2019. Does anyone know what their solution to this issue is?

I've had a system crash since I posted the original message so I had to execute a fresh install and I continue to have the same issue prior to the crash, I'm running CENTOS 7.5. I've also tried a wired and wireless connection and continue to get the same problem.

Are their other mirrors that I can try? Can someone provide a list of mirrors hopefully they will work. Also how would I apply new mirrors. I'm in Cleveland Ohio so could it me an issue with mirrors on the East coast or Mid-West?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

DuckDuckGo is your friend: https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/

Those questions are answered at centos.org.

I went over to CENTOS.org for a solution, however, I've forgot my username and therefore unable to have a password reset done. The message suggest that I contact the Board Administrator.

I see no method of contacting the Board Administrator unless I can log on. Can you provide me with some input regarding how to contact the Board Administrator for help?

Thanks

What Board Administrator? At centos.org? I'm pretty sure one doesn't need to log in at centos.org to read the documentation or see the list of mirrors I posted or to review the contents of their forum, for that matter. Yes, if you want to post to their forums, you'll need to log in; but I suggest starting with the wiki or manuals under the documentation link.

You asked

I did that. I posted a link to ALL of the mirrors in the world.

If you have another question that we can help you with, please ask it.

Frankly, I still think the issue is with your connection speed and/or bandwidth, especially given that you've re-installed and are still having the same problem.
