It can be measured by actual download speed by clients. Maybe YaST/zypper could send back performance data to mirrorbrain. Or simply by YaST saying "this mirror is too slow, give me another".
Yast/Installer is not the one who downloads the data, so it should not measure the speed and should not decide to jump to another server. It's actually libzypp. Anyway, the problem of measuring the max connection speed versus max mirror speed is that there is no way of getting the "max" info. You always get some "current" speed from a "selected" server. Also asking user for their connection speed sounds like from the 20th century. Either we can detect it or do not bother users with such questions. All in all, having some decent default in libzypp configurations sounds like a good idea. Would that be, e.g., 16kb/s? But libzypp, again, should be clever enough, that if it's getting such a slow speed from two or three servers, it /might/ be actually client or general connection issue.
