I have repos.conf/gentoo.conf set to: sync-uri = rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/ For the last month or two whenever this mirror pops up: >>> Starting rsync with rsync://129.97.134.71/gentoo-portage/... which is this mirror: University of Waterloo - rsync4.ca.gentoo.org it runs like it's connected via a 2400 baud modem (ie it takes nearly half an hour to sync the portage tree) and it has always failed to verify. I'm located in California, USA on Suddenlink broadband, and no other mirror has this issue on my connection.
