I wanted to update the "GENTOO_MIRRORS=" line in my /etc/portage/make.conf because of slow down-load speeds.
Here is today's execution of the same command I ran in June 2023 to get my current GENTOO_MIRRORS servers.
Code:
$ mirrorselect -R "North America" -4 -D -s 5 -b 10 -S -o
* Using url: https://api.gentoo.org/mirrors/distfiles.xml
* Limiting test to "region=North America" hosts.
* Limiting test to https hosts.
* Downloading a list of mirrors...
 Got 238 mirrors.
* Downloading 100k files from each mirror... [7 of 7]
No search results found. Check your filter settings and re-run mirrorselect


So I tried some less restrictive options:

Code:
$ mirrorselect -R "North America" -4  -s 5 -b 5 -S -o
* Using url: https://api.gentoo.org/mirrors/distfiles.xml
* Limiting test to "region=North America" hosts.
* Limiting test to https hosts.
* Downloading a list of mirrors...
 Got 238 mirrors.
Using netselect to choose the top5 hosts, in blocks of 5. 2 of 2 blocks complete.te.

ERROR: Netselect failed to return any mirrors. Try again using block mode.


$ mirrorselect  -4  -s 5 -b 5 -S -o
* Using url: https://api.gentoo.org/mirrors/distfiles.xml
* Limiting test to https hosts.
* Downloading a list of mirrors...
 Got 238 mirrors.
Using netselect to choose the top5 hosts, in blocks of 5. 15 of 15 blocks complete.te.

ERROR: Netselect failed to return any mirrors. Try again using block mode.



I was using '-b' which is that block mode right?

Ideas?

There is a stats page about the mirrors: https://mirrorstats.gentoo.org/rsync/
Maybe this can help to narrow it down.

I do not see a -S option here: https://man.linuxreviews.org/man8/mirrorselect.8.html (or maybe I'm blind)

A suggested command from the wiki page would be something like this:
Code:
mirrorselect -s3 -b10 -D -R "North America"
or maybe try -c USA instead of the -R option.
