Use a tool like atop to get some info about the throughput |
| 12 |
of your network connection. Something like "ss -ntp" might |
| 13 |
show interesting info about the state of the connection |
| 14 |
between your machine and the server, too. |

You might have problems with DNS name resolution or your |
| 17 |
box patiently trying to establish an IPv6 connection when |
| 18 |
your internet connection is IPv4 only. |

But switching to git, like Neil said, does make things faster. |

FWIW, my config file reads like this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf |
| 25 |
[DEFAULT] |
| 26 |
main-repo = gentoo |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
[gentoo] |
| 29 |
location = /var/db/repos/gentoo |
| 30 |
sync-type = git |
| 31 |
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git |
| 32 |
auto-sync = yes |
| 33 |
sync-git-verify-commit-signature = yes |
| 34 |
sync-openpgp-key-path = /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
good luck, |
