Hi again,
Thanks for the suggestions. I actually found this in the gentoo wiki
under the man page make.conf(5):
PORTAGE_RSYNC_INITIAL_TIMEOUT = integer
Used by emerge --sync as a timeout for the initial connection to
an rsync server.
Defaults to 15 seconds.
I put this in my make.conf file with a 45 and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again!
Ross

Subject: [gentoo-user] problem with a slow rsync server
Hi,
I have a rsync server on a older machine and I'm trying to emerge --sync
another machine to the server. When I do this my emerge --sync times
out. I'm pretty sure that it's because the rsync server is on an old
machine (but I could be wrong) and was wondering does anyone knows how
to increase the timeout time for emerge --sync?
Thanks,
Ross
