18 you don't need to remove it. Portage will rename the failed tarball and retry
19 the next time. You have to clean DISTFILES from failed packages once in a
20 while. But it is not necessary from a 'portage will redownload it' POV.
21 Example:
22 /var/portage/distfiles/necflash_linux.tgz._checksum_failure_.We1z4V

31 usually only a few hours after the initial bugreport. But sometimes weeks (see
32 binflash).
