The 'mirrorselect-test' file used by 'mirrorselect --deep' seems not to exist on most of our mirrors. As a result, it usually adds the single mirror that has the file for some reason rather than the best mirror possible :). * Downloading mirrorselect-test files from each mirror...

running: mirrorselect -DH4 -s 5 -d 3 ... deeptest(): got 91 hosts, and returned ['http://tux.rainside.sk/gentoo/', 'http://ftp.daum.net/gentoo/', 'http://gentoo.gg3.net/'] Those are the only 3 servers mirroring that file, at least for http protocol.
I've explained to Brian on how to fix this issue.
Temporaily fixed by adding the file to distfiles-local. I will add that file to the SRC_URI in the next release (soon). That will fix it for all installed versions.

No, the timeout exception you got was a result of the name resolution error. Your error was not due to the file being missing, it was due to the name resolution (DNS) failure. Maybe it picked a bad mirror that was offline or failed. The list may not have been updated yet. It is a manually edited list. If you find a mirror that continues to fail, please report it in our bugzilla so the infrastructure team can take care of it. Side note: You can also specify any file known to exist on the mirrors. See the options. That way you can test larger or smaller files. I forgot about this bug... I should be able to close it as resolved since the ebuild has the test file listed in the SRC_URI for a long time.

Thanks for you reply yes increasing to -t20 solve the issue mirrorselect -s5 -b10 -o -D -t20 I wonder if -t20 should be set as default to avoid Bug 523312 mirrorselect.selectors.TimeoutException > I forgot about this bug... > > I should be able to close it as resolved since the ebuild has the test file > listed in the SRC_URI for a long time. please do so to compensate me opening new ones Bug 566778 ;) Thanks
