24 This is a very good idea.  I had to switch a few months ago.  The one I
25 was using was either really busy or had other issues that slowed it to a
26 crawl.  It reminded me of dial-up days.  I might add, I found some that
27 didn't appear to be set up to sync with anymore.  It appeared they
28 removed Gentoo files from the server.  Could be a glitch so I didn't
29 report it.
