3 As you some of you might have noticed, the rsync1.us mirror has been
4 overloaded or just not responsive at all. To put it frankly, the hardware
5 has been getting nailed and the load was consistently up over 40. Our
6 provider of those boxes, the University of Florida, USA and the Alachua
7 Free Network are upgrading us to some nice new hardware. On the order of
8 3Ghz Xeon machines with RAM measured in gigabytes.

10 I have been told that tomorrow EDT there will be a short downtime (I do
11 not know the exact time, but will send out an update when I find out) when
12 the hardware is cut over. There should NOT be any configuration changes
13 needed on your end, but I will keep the list up to date if there are. You
14 can also join irc.freenode.net and /join #gentoo-mirrors as admins will be
15 in there to help with any questions.
