I have a local mirror for the very same reason. I have put this in my crontab (all on on one line): 0 6 * * * rsync -rlptDv --delete ftp.ibiblio.org::linux_distros/gentoo/ /mnt/archive/gentoo/ It runs at six every morning (CET), the load at Ibiblio is quite low then. In the /etc/make.conf I m

Thanks! You may be right. With 100Mbit switch in between I get ~9MB/s, like you. Direct connect I get 11-15 MB/s. That's a pretty lousy upgrade. But I really think I ought to get a 2-3X boost anyway... Cheers, Pär. On Sat, 8 Mar 2003, Richard Revis wrote: > Sounds like ethernet to me? After a
