How to disable fast mirror yum plugin in CentOS Linux server

Best/Tutorial

To disable the fast mirror plugin in a CentOS Linux server, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Yum configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
  1. Change the enabled setting to 0:
[main]
enabled=0
  1. Save and close the file.
  2. Update the Yum cache:
sudo yum makecache

The fast mirror plugin is now disabled, and Yum will no longer use the plugin to select the fastest mirror for package updates and installations.
