This is problematic since the upgrade from <1.0.9 involves a security issue.
245 bytes looks like a http status page. Maybe something is wrong with your mirror? Try commenting out or changing GENTOO_MIRRORS in /etc/make.conf
Okay, all fixed, sorry for the false alarm. Trouble was with http_replicator. Been running it for years, never any trouble -- I have about 10 machines running Gentoo. Just a problem with this ebuild though, strange... I did try to clear out the old tar file and clean up the manifest, etc., but still kept failing. Anyway, consider it closed. Thanks for your help.
