OK I'm sure that this is a common problem and it's probably just a setting I'm forgetting.

But I have no idea what to do.
I'm using putty and I'm logged into my server at home.

I can't past text (for example an ebuild) into nano without the text
becoming tabbed more and more for each line down.

Instead of text look like this when I paste it in:
Code:

Hello
 I am a formatted
 Piece of text
I love you


It looks like this:
Code:

Hello
 I am a formatted
  Piece of text
  I love you


with long ebuilds or text it gets crazy fast...what's my problem!? Thx

Looks like it's doing auto-indenting. I don't use nano myself, but there should be a way to temporarily or permanently disable that.
