Summary: I'm testing the latest stage3 tarball. I've got FEATURES=getbinpkgs. The default python is set to python3.2. I've can produce the following errors: livecd ~ # emerge -pv ccache Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/urllib/request.py", line 2195, in retrfile self.ftp.cwd(file) File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/ftplib.py", line 561, in cwd return self.voidcmd(cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/ftplib.py", line 260, in voidcmd return self.voidresp() File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/ftplib.py", line 234, in voidresp resp = self.getresp() File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/ftplib.py", line 229, in getresp raise error_perm(resp) ftplib.error_perm: 550 Failed to change directory.

This looks more like a portage problem than a problem with a stage3. You should go yell at Zac instead :).
