rsync.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu is being extremely slow. Took several minutes to retrieve the file list instead of a matter of seconds. The whole synch processes is usually completed faster than the file list took to transfer. Figured I'd report it in after todays' newsletter. needs root # traceroute rsync.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu traceroute to tricia.cc.gatech.edu (130.207.108.134), 30 hops max, 40 byte packe ts 1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 2.912 ms 2.682 ms 2.929 ms 2 10.144.96.1 (10.144.96.1) 13.733 ms 16.308 ms 101.895 ms 3 172.30.58.145 (172.30.58.145) 34.702 ms 17.939 ms 51.311 ms 4 172.30.58.174 (172.30.58.174) 33.821 ms 21.927 ms 20.087 ms 5 172.30.59.58 (172.30.59.58) 31.363 ms 22.052 ms 14.972 ms 6 68.57.192.66 (68.57.192.66) 36.338 ms 15.647 ms 53.066 ms 7 12.125.142.105 (12.125.142.105) 19.583 ms 18.755 ms 42.940 ms 8 gbr5-p80.cgcil.ip.att.net (12.123.5.218) 45.037 ms 18.467 ms 53.883 ms 9 tbr1-p013501.cgcil.ip.att.net (12.122.11.41) 42.674 ms 22.244 ms 28.120 m s 10 ggr2-p300.cgcil.ip.att.net (12.123.6.33) 170.428 ms 154.157 ms 384.657 ms 11 att-gw.chi.qwest.net (192.205.32.98) 29.536 ms 21.310 ms 22.312 ms 12 cer-core-01.inet.qwest.net (205.171.139.57) 19.953 ms 45.304 ms 45.700 ms 13 chi-core-02.inet.qwest.net (205.171.205.33) 37.899 ms 19.413 ms 129.038 m s 14 atl-core-01.inet.qwest.net (205.171.8.197) 59.253 ms 159.332 ms 59.532 ms 15 atl-edge-07.inet.qwest.net (205.171.21.82) 80.731 ms 79.074 ms 93.706 ms 16 63.148.128.74 (63.148.128.74) 152.440 ms 58.668 ms 169.610 ms 17 130.207.251.2 (130.207.251.2) 58.406 ms 59.342 ms 60.927 ms 18 cc-rstone-sys3-156.cc.gatech.edu (130.207.108.158) 58.879 ms 77.230 ms 12 6.929 ms 19 tricia.cc.gatech.edu (130.207.108.134) 58.347 ms 58.921 ms 68.475 ms
Thanks for reporting this. The gatech.edu mirror has been overloaded for quite some time, and not just because of Gentoo. (They host several other mirrors as well) Unfortunately, short of adding more bandwidth, there's not much that can be done to resolve the problem. gatech.edu is a source mirror, which isn't subject to the same level of repetitive abuse as rsync mirrors are -- you generally only have to download a distfile once. This particular source mirror is just very, very busy. So, we do appreciate you reporting the problem. We just can't do anything to fix it. :) (short of convincing gatech.edu to buy more bandwidth.)
Obsolete bug, closing.
