Expected Results: I expect a file to be what it says it is. No doubt as soon as the ebuild is changed to handle the uncompressed tar archive, Adobe will put a proper file up. I don't even know if this is a bug that "should be fixed."
Please remove that file from your distfiles directory, run emerge again and post the full build log, including the fetch output.

The Manifest file in CVS certainly doesn't suggest a size of 20 megabytes, but a quite ordinary 7 megabytes. I suspect you 1) downloaded the file yourself using a web browser (that supports gzipped files and unzips them for you even when it shouldn't), and then 2) did some funky stuff in the PORTDIR to validate the file's size.

I downloaded the file with "emerge -f" (which uses wget, if I understand), which is the only way I ever obtain files for emerge. I did have to change the Manifest to accommodate what I received. Several download attempts (some using wget directly) produced the same (uncompressed) file. In any case, I did (just now) try again, and actually received the file as described, so it seems that upstream fixed whatever the problem was.

This was (is) apparently an Akamai hosting problem. They handle Adobe's file downloads (with mirrors all over the world), and I kept getting routed to a mirror that had some sort of problem (with no way to select another mirror). See the URL for more details. The problem is (at least temporarily) fixed again, but I don't have a lot of confidence that it won't reappear.
