I have made a patch that fixes some issues with the repos we are using now. They are:
1. (pr)downloads.sourceforge.net picks some random mirrors from the Sourceforge list. Sometimes, it might use the Superb Hosting mirror, which, in speeds, is not very superb at all. The patch changes the Sourceforge repo link to internap.dl.sourceforge.net, which is at godspeed, for me. 2. The Estorian Gentoo mirror we're using, is v e r y s l o w with some packages, yet fast at others. And it has the "Double Distfiles" problem. I fixed that by changing the link to ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/gentoo/distfiles, which is less random at package speed, and does not have the double distfiles problem. The patch is attached. William
