>Description:
MASTER_SITE_XORG in meta-pkgs/xorg/Makefile.common starts with:

MASTER_SITE_XORG+=      \
        http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R${XORG_VER}/src/       \

That site gives really slow download rates. gwdg.de is way faster.
So is using MASTER_SITE_BACKUP.

        
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to fetch the xorg distfiles from www.freedesktop.org.
        
>Fix:
Put master sites with real bandwith to the Net earlier in the list.
