i think its a problem for the mirrors bec some urls are blocked by our internet here so how i can change the mirrors and find a good one

Its look like it is your DNS that does resolve names.

Test DNS from the command line with host mirrors.fedoraproject.org.

You would have to open a terminal and enter the command there. If you start typing terminal in Gnome’s search on the desktop, it’s icon will popup below the entry.

 [darky@fedora ~]$ host mirrors.fedoraproject.org
mirrors.fedoraproject.org is an alias for download.linux.
download.linux has address 10.202.8.134
Host download.linux not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

What kind of Internet provider would do that? That is evil. If you are able to, you can configure your network to use a trustworthy DNS provider for example 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1
