42 -In order to download source code quickly it is recommended to select a fast
43 -mirror. Portage will look in your <path>make.conf</path> file for the
44 -GENTOO_MIRRORS variable and use the mirrors listed therein. You can surf to
45 -our <uri link="/main/en/mirrors.xml">mirror list</uri> and search
46 -for a mirror (or mirrors) close to you (as those are most frequently the
47 -fastest ones), but we provide a nice tool called <c>mirrorselect</c> which
48 -provides you with a nice interface to select the mirrors you want.

56 -Do not select any IPv6 mirrors. Our stages currently do not support IPv6.

59 -<p>
60 -A second important setting is the SYNC setting in <path>make.conf</path>. This
61 -variable contains the rsync server you want to use when updating your Portage
62 -tree (the collection of ebuilds, scripts containing all the information Portage
63 -needs to download and install software). Although you can manually enter a SYNC
64 -server for yourself, <c>mirrorselect</c> can ease that operation for you:
