It looks like you sync'd to a gentoo _download_ mirror. Probably not what you wanted. Remove your SYNC entry from make.conf and it will use the defualt. -- Chris I Speed is subsittute fo accurancy. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: [gentoo-user] emerge SUNK!!!
Why don't you just set make.conf to use the default, so it goes after a valid gentoo rsync server?? You don't need to find a host.. My usual rsync mirror (gazza.citylink.co.nz) is out of action, so I thought I would point at another rsync mirror: rsync.planetmirror.com.au .as listed on the Gentoo.org download page (sort of - when you try the rsync link on the gentoo.org page, the site tells you it has been moved and presents the adres above). BIG MISTAKE! When I ran an emerge sync, it started off OK...and i went on with other business on another PC. When i checked about an hour later, the silly thing was in the /FixDOS subdirectory or portage...and pulling down a dozen different staging files plus 3 full ISO images!!! I'm on a dataquota of 3 GB / month of international traffic. This silly thing just ate up about 600 MBs downloading stages and ISOs for non-intel platforms. Anyone have any advice on how to limit the scope of emerge sync? Or is that mirror set up bad and wrongly? I suspect the latter. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
