I use a DirecWay 2-way satellite system for Internet access and 95+% of the time my 'emerge rsync' times out. Most of the time it happens at the very beginning "building file list.....". I have tried using a squid proxy cache server from a server of mine based on a T1 (after adding the rsync port to the list of safe ports) but it returns:

bad response from proxy - HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden
rsync: failed to connect to x.x.x.x: Success

x.x.x.x is the address of my server :-)
Is there any way to update my package list other than through rsync? My external server is currently Slackware but will soon be Gentoo.

Yes -- use this script which downloads the daily portage snapshot and untars it to the right location. I use it on my Gentoo machine at work -- it works great.

Thank you for the script! It works perfectly! It or an equiv should be included in the gentoolkit..
