This is a very good idea. I had to switch a few months ago. The one I was using was either really busy or had other issues that slowed it to a crawl. It reminded me of dial-up days. I might add, I found some that didn't appear to be set up to sync with anymore. It appeared they removed Gentoo files from the server. Could be a glitch so I didn't report it. I synced last night, about 12 hours ago, without any problems. Dale :-) :-)
