Note
- The mirrors listed on this page contain installation files such as LiveCDs, Portage snapshots as well as
distfiles (the actual program code for most packages we offer).
- That means you can use them in your
GENTOO_MIRRORS
variable in
make.conf, but they are
not rsync mirrors (which go into
repos.conf, formerly
SYNC
in
make.conf).
+
Using Source Mirrors
+
+ The mirrors listed
on this page contain installation files such as
LiveCDs, Portage tree snapshots
+ as well as
distfiles (the actual program code for our packages).
+
+ To use a source mirror for Portage downloads, add a URL from the list below to your
GENTOO_MIRRORS
variable in
make.conf.
+
More information is available in our Wiki.

rsync Mirrors
+
+ We also have a second type of mirrors that you use for updating your Portage tree (configured via
repos.conf).
+ They are available on a
separate page.
- We would like to thank the many organizations and individuals that are providing mirroring services to the Gentoo project. If you would like to contribute a mirror, please consult the relevant documentation.
