Interesting offer, but I found "mirrorselect" on my o= wn in the
meantime, and first in its list is a site
that I know is a 2-hour drive away (my grad school alma mater), and I
like to keep global load down...
not that I have anything against Cisco.

Thnaks for the offer, though.

Mirrorselect is certainly your friend, and de= scribed in the Gentoo Handbook. =A0If you haven't already, I would use = it to select a rsync mirror, too.
