I don't know if 14 it's a server problem or if traffic between my and that server is 15 routed through a Mars orbiter. When any other server is chosen, the 16 file list scrolls by faster than you can read it. Via the Mars 17 orbibiter the list ticks by about one file every 5-10 seconds. It 18 will usually finish (eventually), but sometimes hangs and times out. 19 It's been like for at least a year or two. 20 21 [FWIW, I'm uable to ping the server, and tracroute is unable to produce 22 a route to it. However, I can telnet to the rsync port on that host 23 and it connects.] 24 25 When I see that server has been selected, I usually just hit Ctrl-C 26 and try again. 27 28 Is there any way to configure portage to not use that server? 29 30 -- 31 Grant
