To me it seems, your connection sucks. This can be either your connection |
| 22 |
to your ISP or your ISP's connection to the internet. It looks like there |
| 23 |
is a problem getting packages to you and keeping the connection running. |

Do you have the same kinds of problems with other sites too? |

ps. As the rest of us can easilly get gentoo, I don't think there is a |
| 31 |
problem at ibiblio. |

pps. In case you have a cable modem, make sure your nic is configured half |
| 34 |
duplex as most cable modems don't accept full duplex connections. (nic = |
| 35 |
network interface card) |
