Today I run more than one time into this situation (see below). Shouldn't portage handle an HTML error in a different way than a broken file size ? >>> Emerging (1 of 2) sys-apps/man-pages-2.65 to / >>> Downloading 'http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/distfiles/man-pages-2.65.tar.bz2' --13:56:14-- http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/distfiles/man-pages-2.65.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/man-pages-2.65.tar.bz2' Resolving pandemonium.tiscali.de... 195.52.219.14 Connecting to pandemonium.tiscali.de|195.52.219.14|:80... connected.

wget handles this, not portage. Not to mention that the mirror is broken if it returns such junk.
What's about providing a simple black list via the rsync mechanism of portage to block such servers ?
Pulled the HTTP entry for this mirror from mirrors.xml as it hasn't been working for a long time - at the moment Mirmon shows FTP as working and up-to-date. Thanks for the report, please let us know if there's any further issues in future.
