Hi,

  Thanks for the reply. I'm still going to have to change my ebuilds to
use another src which is no big deal. I understand using SF is a major
pain with putting all the tarballs up, was just nice that portage has a
mirror function with the entire list of SF mirrors to pull from ie... I
just used mirror://sourceforge/xfce/${P} to pull from a very large batch
of mirrors. If bandwidth isn't a problem for your mirrors I'll go ahead
and use a couple of those, but it may put a big strain on just those few
servers, if you think it may be a problem I'll go ahead and push out
each individual package to gentoo's mirrors. If I use your mirrors,
which would you suggest are the best in terms of availability
and bandwidth?
 
Thanks again,
