52 Sorry I don't know why your download is all borked (try changing
53 mirrors)-- but I can tell you that
54
55 1). Portage is not trying to download an ebuild when you're actually
56 emerging a program; it's trying to download the source tarball for that
57 program in order to compile it;
58
59 2) Any ebuild should not be found in /usr/portage/distfiles-- it should
60 be found in /usr/portage/cag-egory/package_name. What you find in
61 /usr/portage/distfiles are the tarballs containing the downloaded source
62 code. So if you've put an ebuild in /usr/portage/distfiles, get rid of
63 it. It has no business being in that particular folder.

69 Yes, download the source code tarball manually (in this case,
70 glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2), and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles. Portage
71 won't try to download the tarball if it finds that its already been
72 downloaded.
73
74 Hope this helps somewhat,
