Hi Alan

Im Asking you directly as we share the same mirror and country :)
Also if I need to start a new thread just let me know ... I'm posting 
here as it has to do with rsync

so the question: How do I set up rsync on the IS mirror I tried to edit 
the make.conf by just adding the IS url to the rsync option and # out 
the other rsync server I had set up but emerge --rsync just told me that 
name could not be contacted my only option now is web-rsync but I'd 
rather use --rsync (also I'm capped on Intl so Local only bandwith here).

Thnks
