27 If you need a mirror run by a known person that you can blame when things go
28 south, you *could* use mine:

30 GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/"
31 SYNC="rsync://ftp.is.co.za/gentoo-portage"

33 That poor machine gets lonely down here in South Africa, doesn't get to speak
34 to foreigners much, and my Network Operations guys keep pestering me to find
35 ways to stress out the peering links to that other competing ISP (I think they
36 just want to bloat the graphs to justify buying new expensive Cisco toys - not
37 that there's anything wrong in that :-)
