link shows that finland rsync mirror is :rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ but it actually is :rsync://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo-portage/ so doing "copy link address" and pasting to make.conf and then doing sync starts load something else than it sould be. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Did you read the comment on top of the page? "The rsync-mirrors listed here are not for individual use (i.e. emerge sync) as that would download the full mirror instead of just the Portage tree. "
this is an invalid bug report. reporter confused a portage mirror with a distfiles mirror.
