Hello, Noodling around I found a gentoo server at: http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo/
I'm not sure if I can use this in my make.conf file? If so, what would the setting look like? Hopes are that is closer than my current mirrors. Is there an a method/software to test which mirrors are the fastest? I have this setting on some gentoo systems: SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" Should it be added to all my gentoo systems and how does the 'SYNC' setting affect/interact with specific GENTOO_MIRRORS settings? 'mirrorselect' detail documentation seems to elude me, and I'm not even sure this tools is useful to evaluate the closest/fastest mirror or rsync host. Hell, I'm not even sure what the main/functional difference is between a mirror and a rsync host? confused on optimizing gentoo downloads.... James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
