mistake25,

Welcome to Gentoo.

The answer to your question depends where you are compared to distfiles.gentoo.org, which is located in the USA.

You should emerge mirrorselect and speed test the gentoo mirrors from where you are.
Given the proper options, it will put the say the 10 fastest ones for you in /etc/make.conf
Read its man page after its installed.

Its also worth choosing the correct rsync rotation server for your location.
See /etc/make.conf.example for how to do that.
