antoine, if your GENTOO_MIRRORS was set by mirrorselect then it may have
mistakenly included ipv6 mirros that aren't really available to you. I
recommend commenting out that line and seeing if the default settings
work.
if you want a close mirror discuss it with other gentooers who are
physically/networked close to you.
