There are some other methods of syncing your tree which may or may not be faster for you, though. Take a look at emerge-webrsync (included with sys-apps/portage), and emerge-delta-webrsync (included in app-portage/emerge-delta-webrsync). The former pulls complete daily tarballs of the tree from a remote location. This may slower. The latter pulls patches instead of full tarballs. As I understand it, it's still fairly experimental, but it should, at least in theory, be much less network intensive than rsync. -- Mike Kelly
