If it fails immediately (unlikely) then you have no connectivity to your name servers. If it takes 30 seconds, then you have broken name servers. Check what's in /etc/resolv.conf, use dig to see what comes back and change your name servers as necessary. Failing that, change your mirror or just download that file manually from gentoo.org. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
