!!! Couldn't download povuni_s.tgz. Aborting. 

Even after manually downloading the file from different sources, emerge tries
to 
resume the download, failing just like above.

povray 3.5 is updated to version 3.50c on the povray ftp server, while the
ebuild still is for povray 3.50a.
The filename is still the same (povuni_s.tgz) but the size differs.

Digest file for povray-3.50c

This file should go into /usr/portage/media-gfx/povray/files

Created an attachment (id=9845) [details]
New ebuild for povray-3.50c

This is the old povray-3.50a ebuild, blatantly copied with new name.

Created an attachment (id=9846) [details]
Patch for povray-3.50c

This is the patch (copied from the old povray-3.50a.patch).

The old source files are starting to show up on the Gentoo mirrors again, which
makes this new digest file invalid if the emerge pulls the source package from
one of the mirrors.
If you want povray-3.50c you need to get the povuni_s.tgz from www.povray.org
and put it in the distfiles directory manually.
I built the new version this way and it works. Not sure about what has changed
though.

I was making the povray-3.50c ebuild this morning, but it failed while trying
to build the digest (with the same error). Seems like the problem is deeper
than you are saying.

Either portage is interpreting the wget return code incorrectly, or wget is
giving us a weird return code.

The issue seems to have been user error on my part. New ebuild commited, thanks
for your help guys.
