I switched to using git for syncing, from github, and haven't looked back. It is *much* faster, several times faster syncing from github than using rsync to sync from a local mirror, and github is always there. % cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] priority = 20 location = /var/portage sync-type = git sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo auto-sync = yes -- Neil Bothwick Cereal Killer Strikes Again!
