Normally, portage will try fetching from GENTOO_MIRRORS during an

This is undesirable behaviour - te mirrors exist because SRC_URI may
often have limited bandwidth.
Understandable, but my problem lies in "ebuild digest" of my own ebuilds
and ebuilds of third-party overlays. Along the URLs tried by portage is
one that seems to need over a minute to reply with "401 not found".
This is highly annoying. I would want to try SRC_URI in those cases first.
Of course that doesn't mean SRC_URI should be tried by default first. I
never suggested that and look what happened to this thread :P
