I upgraded to portage 2.0.50_pre19 today. Since then package download seems to be a bit broken. When I try to emerge a packet, whose files are not yet download, it starts the download process per wget as usual. When wget finishes, it just hangs, doing nothing (not using CPU for example) until I abort via Ctrl-C. If I start the emerge again (with the file downloaded now), it works fine. A reproducible package seems to be gpc-20030209. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rm /usr/portage/distfiles/gpc-20030209.tar.gz 2. emerge gpc (now it will hang after download) 3. Abort via Ctrl-C 4. emerge gpc (now it works) Actual Results: # rm /usr/portage/distfiles/gpc-20030209.tar.gz # emerge gpc Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-lang/gpc-20030209 to / >>> Downloading ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/distfiles/gpc-20030209.tar.gz --20:28:57-- ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/distfiles/gpc-20030209.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/gpc-20030209.tar.gz' Resolving gentoo.inode.at... 81.223.20.162 Connecting to gentoo.inode.at[81.223.20.162]:21... connected.

did you try doing a `ps axu` or something and see WHAT was hanging ?
Damn, wo invented a lengthy 5 minute FTP timeout? A mirror seemed to have connection problems. After 2-3 minutes I was cconvinced that this couldn't be a connection problem, a "normal" application would have spit out a timeout, but no, it was set to 5 minutes ;) (Anyway perfect timing to get broken when I upgraded to _pre19 ;) [x] this bug is invalid
