If you need a mirror run by a known person that you can blame when things go south, you *could* use mine: GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/"; SYNC="rsync://ftp.is.co.za/gentoo-portage" That poor machine gets lonely down here in South Africa, doesn't get to speak to foreigners much, and my Network Operations guys keep pestering me to find ways to stress out the peering links to that other competing ISP (I think they just want to bloat the graphs to justify buying new expensive Cisco toys - not that there's anything wrong in that :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
