I've recently been plagued with RESTRICT="nomirror" being set in recent mysql 4.0.x ebuilds causing my filefetching operations to take considerable amounts of time when they should actually be the fastest. (my example is 30kb/s from argentina instead of the regular 4Mb/s from gentoo.mirrors.pair.com) Allen Dale Parker allenp@efn.org "ego sum ens ompnipotens" -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
