Hello,
Noodling around I found a gentoo server at:
http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo/
I'm not sure if I can use this in my make.conf file?
If so, what would the setting look like?
Hopes are that is closer than my current mirrors.
Is there an a method/software to test which mirrors
are the fastest?
I have this setting on some gentoo systems:
SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
Should it be added to all my gentoo systems and how does
the 'SYNC' setting affect/interact with specific
GENTOO_MIRRORS settings?
'mirrorselect' detail documentation seems to elude me,
and I'm not even sure this tools is useful to evaluate
the closest/fastest mirror or rsync host. Hell, I'm
not even sure what the main/functional difference is
between a mirror and a rsync host?
confused on optimizing gentoo downloads....
James
