Hi, has anyone had this problem with trying to update the database for
portage?
It was doing this a while ago, then it stopped (I don't know why) now its doing
it again..

If you don't specify a list of mirrors you want, portage will rotate randomly
through
its list. You'll probably get better results if you pick a handful of servers
that
are close to you and not overloaded. Emerge mirrorselect and see if you can get
better servers.
