Description AP Fritts 2006-01-24 18:19:31 UTC

Hi, I was emerging today and yesterday, and somehow the MD5 sums failed.  After deleting the files and running "emerge --resume", the programs emerged perfectly.  I think it would be neat if Portage automatically retried a download if the MD5sum failed.  Obviously, if it fails x times, then it should stop and let the user know.

Err. Portage *does* do this.
