Change port download mirror

RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES=yes can be added to /etc/make.conf to choose a mirror randomly. Sometimes there is one mirror that is always a problem. When asking elsewhere, someone cleverly suggested using local DNS to override that. I just set mine to return 127.0.0.2. Coincidentally, this was for one very slow Gnome mirror in Belgium.

Thanks i do but not change. I can't install any software on my computer
 
Temporarily add an entry to /etc/hosts to block out the problem mirror.
Code: 
127.0.0.2 ftp.example.com
Then try again.

There could be other network-related problems, like going through a proxy. Or actually, maybe you are trying to get packages. You have not said.
