I use the line:- GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://linux.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.recoil.net.nz/pub/gentoo ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"; As one long line in /etc/make.conf ] Also you need to set an rsync server.

As soon as you do that you will get the latest packages, but the portage system will get those, rather than the old ones off the CD.
