5 I use the meta-mirrors, as listed in and suggested by the commented
6 parts of make.conf:

8 SYNC is the server used by rsync to retrieve a localized rsync mirror
9 rotation. This allows you to select servers that are geographically
10 close to you, yet still distribute the load over a number of servers.
11 Please do not single out specific rsync mirrors. Doing so places undue
12 stress on particular mirrors. Instead you may use one of the
13 following continent specific rotations:
14
15 Default: "rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
16 North America: "rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
17 South America: "rsync://rsync.samerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
18 Europe: "rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
19 Asia: "rsync://rsync.asia.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
20 Australia: "rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
