Something like "ss -ntp" might show interesting info about the state of the connection between your machine and the server, too. You might have problems with DNS name resolution or your box patiently trying to establish an IPv6 connection when your internet connection is IPv4 only. But switching to git, like Neil said, does make things faster. FWIW, my config file reads like this: # cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] location = /var/db/repos/gentoo sync-type = git sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git auto-sync = yes sync-git-verify-commit-signature = yes sync-openpgp-key-path = /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc good luck, s. > It seems like a time-out problem.
