Its pretty absurd for an 'emerge -u world' to die because it cant download the files associated with a package from the ibiblio mirror (or any others it seems). At the *very* *least* the primary Gentoo mirror (is it not ibiblio?) should have the files associated with a packge when the package is available for merge. Output follows for your amusement... ################################################################################ >>> Downloading http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/galaxy-0.9.1-1mdk.src.rpm --14:24:02-- http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/galaxy-0.9.1-1mdk.src.rpm => `/usr/portage/distfiles/galaxy-0.9.1-1mdk.src.rpm' Resolving distro.ibiblio.org... done.

the main mirror of gentoo is not available for the public, but this error is no fault of gentoo but of mandrake as their server is down and so the file cannot be synced to the gentoo mirrors ...

brad: please upload the file to official gentoo mirror and version bump it
Coincidentally noticed this just today as well; going to have to keep tracking this one on our mirror system.
While everyone's at it, I've added 0.9.3 (mirrored on our servers of course) and optionalized KDE, if you'd like to test. Fixes a cosmetic error with GTK+1 applications.
