Description Matthew Schultz 2006-12-18 21:43:07 UTC 
I think upstream is having problems with their servers.  Emerge can't connect to either of the ftp sites to download the file.  Any chance the tar file could be hosted on a gentoo mirror or perhaps someone could contact upstream and tell them their servers aren't down?

Sorry, tell them their servers _are_ down.

Some please finally remove RESTRICT=mirror from the ebuild, the upstream servers suck wrt reliability.

hopefully upstream has stopped changing the tarball
