Huh. I never knew there was a default (reliable) mirror. The handbook doesn't mention that. It states In order to download source code quickly it is recommended to select a fast, geographically close mirror. Portage will look in the make.conf file for the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable and use the mirrors listed therein. There's no mention that there's a default, and my reading of that paragraph is that you are required to have GENTOO_MIRRORS set. [Yes, the section is labelled "optional", but it doesn't read like it's optional.] In the future, I'll leave GENTOO_MIRRORS unset, because it's a PITA to have to keep fixing it when a mirror stops working or starts responding so slowly. > https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GENTOO_MIRRORS I never looked in the Wiki because I thought the Handbook seemed clear to me. -- Grant
