I had to look up curl to see if I even have it installed.  I've seen it
mentioned but no idea what it is but it is installed here.  I'm not
worried about the server that was slow since I removed it.  I think it
was easylist or something.  Maybe it was having a bad day, something
slowing things down between me and it.  Either way, it doesn't matter. 
What I'm wondering, why doesn't the log file get updated when I have to
restart a fetch?  It fetches fine but emerge doesn't update the logs on
second attempts.  I've noticed this in the past but thought it was just
me hitting some sort of glitch.  Thing is, I noticed it not updating
several months ago and it still doesn't update on second attempts. 
There has to be more to this.  It seems emerge has developed a bug or
some nifty new feature that prevents logs from being updated.  ;-)

I might add, on occasion I have to switch servers.  They are fast and
work fine for sometimes years and then slow down or stop working
completely.  Me and the mirrorselect tool are pretty good friends.  I
even had to switch sync servers a while back.  It got to where it was
slow and then just plain stopped.  I think it stopped hosting Gentoo
stuff.  The site was up and all but nothing Gentoo anymore. 

Still curious about emerge-fetch.log not being updated on second
attempts tho.
