The remote end cut you off. Try another mirror.
Is this a know infrastructure issue. It seems to happening a lot
lately. I'm wary of retrying lest I end up on a ban list.
I've retried a lot. Maybe I ended up on the ban list. What I really
need to do is set up a local mirror since I've got a rack full of
Gentoo servers.
Use my mirror and see if things are better. It's 12 hours behind the master
and I don't implement that mythical ban list:
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo-portage
http:// and rsync:// are also available
Hi Alan
Im Asking you directly as we share the same mirror and country :)
Also if I need to start a new thread just let me know ... I'm posting
here as it has to do with rsync
so the question: How do I set up rsync on the IS mirror I tried to edit
the make.conf by just adding the IS url to the rsync option and # out
the other rsync server I had set up but emerge --rsync just told me that
name could not be contacted my only option now is web-rsync but I'd
rather use --rsync (also I'm capped on Intl so Local only bandwith here).
Thnks
