Emerge downloading slow and flaky

In my current gentoo installation (well not quite functional yet, see here about my kernel probs : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=14136 ) I have been having slow downloads from the gentoo rsynch server the past 2 days. My downloads normally start at 15K/s or so then fall to 5-2K/s sometimes even to about 500B/s. Additionally, the downloads often halt for a few mins then resume again. I have no speed problems in other OSes. Possibly the server is getting hit hard. Anyone else having this recent problem?

What times are you trying the rsync? Are they consistant with problems? Early evening, mornings etc? I had really slow connections last night (around 5k/s), but this morning, they were normal again.

Typically afternoon and evening US east time. I will try earlier.
