I didn't see a manifest error before; perhaps I overlooked it. > Number of files: 158,236 (reg: 131,524, dir: 26,712) > Number of created files: 158,235 (reg: 131,524, dir: 26,711) > Number of deleted files: 0 > Number of regular files transferred: 131,524 > Total file size: 208.96M bytes > Total transferred file size: 208.96M bytes > Literal data: 208.96M bytes > Matched data: 0 bytes > File list size: 3.90M > File list generation time: 0.001 seconds > File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds > Total bytes sent: 2.71M > Total bytes received: 218.79M > > sent 2.71M bytes received 218.79M bytes 56.02K bytes/sec HOW long?! 56KB/s shows something going badly wrong. > total size is 208.96M speedup is 0.94 I've never seen a speedup less than 1 before. > * Manifest timestamp: 2020-01-12 18:38:55 UTC > * Valid OpenPGP signature found: > * - primary key: DCD05B71EAB94199527F44ACDB6B8C1F96D8BF6D > * - subkey: E1D6ABB63BFCFB4BA02FDF1CEC590EEAC9189250 > * - timestamp: 2020-01-12 18:38:55 UTC > * Verifying /var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine > ...!!!
