Hello, a question for the Gentoo users (all 4 or 5 of
you?):
Where should portage be mirrored from?
We have a Portage mirror:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Local_software_mirrors
It started off being mirrored from
rsync://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/gentoo-portage. That started refusing
connections in January so we switched to getting it from
rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage. That also started
refusing connections as of 9 March.
The health of the rsync mirrors in the UK doesn’t seem quite good:
https://mirrorstats.gentoo.org/rsync/#uk
So I would suggest you to sync from France, Germany or Netherlands.
If you can have many upstreams, perhaps pick one server from each
country.
