``fastestmirror``
:ref:`boolean <boolean-label>`

If enabled a metric is used to find the fastest available mirror. This overrides the order provided by the mirrorlist/metalink file itself. This file is often dynamically generated by the server to provide the best download speeds and enabling fastestmirror overrides this. The default is False.
If enabled, TCP socket latency is used to find the closest available mirror.
A mirror is then selected at random with less than twice the lowest latency for load balancing purposes.
This overrides the order provided by the mirrorlist/metalink file itself,
and does not take into consideration mirrorlist parameters such as mirror bandwidth nor preferred mirrors for client IP addresses.
