The kde beta2 ebuilds seem to use the wrong filename. It tries to download files with version "3.5.0_beta2" (such as kdebase-3.5.0_beta2.tar.bz2), while the correct name is "3.4.92" (see ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/3.5-beta2/src/). This results in a "could not download" error from portage when emerging kde 3.5.0 beta2.

Works fine here. Make sure you have up-to-date kde eclasses in /usr/portage/eclasses and that you don't have stale eclasses in some overlay.
Thanks. For people finding this bug: it was due to the gentopia kde eclass. Just removing the eclass directory works (there's probably a better way then removing them, but it works)
Ugh, I wonder why there is an eclass with the same name as the officail repository in the overlay anyways. That's unsafe.
