Hi,

I noticed that my yum downloads aren't being directed to my 'best' 
mirror at my ISP. In fact, I set up the mm entry on behalf of 
iinet.net.au. (since they weren't prepared to do this themselves, but 
didn't object to someone else assisting).

I had previously entered a list of netblock ranges (ones that I had 
found via what iinet give me on my internet service). Testing with a URL:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f11&arch=i386
shows iinet is up2date, but is not listed as the top entry - which would 
mean that yum does not use iinet first (free downloads).

I checked the entry, and notice mm is not showing any netblock entries.
I added the range I'm currently at, which brought me back to the host 
entry, but it does not list the entry I just made.

I decided to try that again, the entry form does not list the item I 
just added, however adding the entry shows a warning that the subnet 
already exists.

A further http test shows that i'm still not getting iinet's server at 
the top of the list. Maybe I need to wait for something, but it seems 
odd that I can't see the netblock list in mm ?
