I'm also getting this. Initially I thought that DNS could not resolve for some ISP related reason, but it is more involved than that. It seems like a $SYNC not a $GENTOO_MIRRORS problem. I changed the rsync.europe.gentoo.org to rsync.de.gentoo.org and rsync worked. So, could it be that something is wrong with the way the rsync rsync.europe mirrors are meant to be rotated? -- Regards, Mick
