You're right. I had set the sync-uri to mirror.bytemark.co.uk, which I got from the handbook. but I still had GENTOO_MIRRORS="http:// www.mirrorservice.org/sites/distfiles.gentoo.org/" from an older installation. I've now set the mirror to bytemark; let's see if that helps. Thanks. -- Regards, Peter.
