If you need a mirror run by a known person that you can blame when things go 
south, you *could* use mine:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/" 
SYNC="rsync://ftp.is.co.za/gentoo-portage"

That poor machine gets lonely down here in South Africa, doesn't get to speak 
to foreigners much, and my Network Operations guys keep pestering me to find 
ways to stress out the peering links to that other competing ISP (I think they 
just want to bloat the graphs to justify buying new expensive Cisco toys - not 
that there's anything wrong in that :-)
