One thing to note, if you do change to git syncing, is that you'll have to delete your entire portage tree: 'rm -r /var/db/repos/portage'. That may seem like a bad idea if you're having sync problems, but it isn't really. After that, the sync will take just seconds, as Neil said. You'll never look back. -- Regards, Peter.
