Re: [gentoo-user] emerge is not switching mirror when one is down

[Xi Shen <davidshen84@googlemail.com>]

i tried the mirrorselect, and the generated GENTOO_MIRRORS is as follow:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.localhost.net.ar/
ftp://mirrors.localhost.net.ar/pub/mirrors/gentoo/"

and this is my original value:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sohu.com/gentoo/ http://mirrors.163.com/gentoo/"

what's the difference? except the url...
