Howdy, I've been running into this a while now. It seems one server is no longer hosting, is broken or something and it results in wasted time as it attempts to use it and retries many times. The server is gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com. I just removed it from make.conf so that I don't run into the problem anymore. While that likely fixes my problem, should I reach out to someone and report that that server is no longer working so it can be either fixed or removed from the lists? If so, who/where do I report it? b.g.o maybe? This is what I get:

It may be a permissions problem on their end tho.
