Hi, The GEORGIA TECH SOFTWARE LIBRARY sync mirror is horrendously slow to the tune of about 10k per second. This mirror is always slow, 8 am, 8 pm, 4 am, it really doesn't matter. Its so slow, syncs can sometimes take HOURS. I wouldn't be bitching about this on here if there was either a way to black list this mirror, or if it really didnt come up as THE ONLY sync mirror for me. If I run emerge --sync 100 times, 95 of them will be GA Tech. Why can the sync process not choose a more appropriate mirror? On last check there are 8 mirrors in the US and another 4 in Canada. Hell, a North Korean mirror would be faster. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run emerge --sync from the Americas. Actual Results: 719.33 bytes/sec Expected Results: IDK, a 1000 bytes a second? I ran mirrorselect as part of the debugging process. That program also has many issues related to timeouts, and if it finally works, it has no effect on the sync process.

Alex: I cannot reproduce your issue, and suspect it might be located your side as suggested by https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585524#c7 The GATech mirror itself is very fast; I get an average of 57Mbit from it (IPv6 shown here, and IPv4 gives similar performance). If it's still slow on a completely fresh sync as suggested by that comment (to an empty directory, ideally on ramdisk to rule out your local storage), then please comment on bug 585524, including your 'emerge --info' output. wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-install-amd64-minimal/stage3-amd64-20170126.tar.bz2 -O stage3-amd64-20170126.tar.bz2-http --2017-01-27 23:16:05-- http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-install-amd64-minimal/stage3-amd64-20170126.tar.bz2 Resolving www.gtlib.gatech.edu... 2610:148:1f00:6f00:250:56ff:fe92:434b, 2610:148:1f00:6f00:21b:24ff:fe1d:e940, 2610:148:1f00:6f00:20c:29ff:fe3c:63a8, ...
