Gentoo Infrastructure: Mirrors Page

1.  Gentoo Mirrors Overview

Gentoo Linux relies heavily upon its system of mirrors. Currently, Gentoo has two different types of mirrors; portage mirrors, which mirror the Gentoo Linux portage tree, and distfile mirrors, which mirror the actual source tarballs for the packages that users install on their system.
