The sizes of the snapshot deltas [1] also seem to show an unusually big change: snapshot-20110201-20110202.patch.bz2 02-Feb-2011 19:57 163K snapshot-20110202-20110203.patch.bz2 03-Feb-2011 19:57 113K snapshot-20110203-20110204.patch.bz2 04-Feb-2011 19:53 1.3M I guess that something about the master rsync mirror has changed. It used to be osprey.gentoo.org, but the size of the snapshot-20110203-20110204.patch.bz2 file on osprey is only 107213 bytes. [1] http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/deltas/ -- Thanks, Zac
