When trying to connect to distfiles.gentoo.org, I repeatedly get error 506. (Cannot connect to server.) Then trying "isitdownforeveryoneorjustme", they say the page looks down too. tldr: distfiles.gentoo.org looks borked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. export GENTOO_MIRRORS="distfiles.gentoo.org" 2. emerge -v anyexistingebuild Actual Results: >>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/ccsm-0.8.2.tar.bz2' --2009-07-27 08:06:19-- http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/ccsm-0.8.2.tar.bz2 Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... 130.239.17.6 Connecting to distfiles.gentoo.org|130.239.17.6|:80... connected.

Since there are so many mirrors, it's not an outrageous bug, but the official distfiles mirror _should_ work.
Error 506 ONLY comes from proxies. So you're behind a broken one, probably transparently. # telnet 130.239.17.6 80 Trying 130.239.17.6... Connected to 130.239.17.6. Escape character is '^]'.
