We need to know more things about your connection (which type of connection? cable? modem? isdn? dsl? which provider?)

How are you testing it?
If you've chosen bad mirrors for portage (or haven't chosen mirrors at all), then package downloads will be slow... |

Run:
| Code: |
mirrorselect -a -s4 -o
|
And it will (after a while) suggest a line: GENTOO_MIRRORS="...".
Add that line to /etc/make.conf. |

But Ihave the following errror:
# mirrorselect -a -s4 -o
Downloading a list of mirrors...
Removing IPV6 Only Servers...
Running netselect to determine mirrors, this might take a moment...
No mirrors have been selected. Exiting.

| Try doing 'mirrorselect -i' instead, and choosing some mirrors that are geographically close to you. Again the results should go in /etc/make.conf. |
