I have the same problem and have checked several mirrors and the files do not exist.

[Comment 2 Myles Grant 2004-06-24 15:58:32 UTC]

I was able to get the following files:

http://ftp3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/win32codecs.tar.bz2
http://ftp3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/qt6dlls.tar.bz2
http://ftp3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/qtextras.tar.bz2
http://ftp3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/rp9win32codecs.tar.bz2

Rename them to have '-20040427' on the end (e.g. win32codecs.tar.bz2 becomes win32codecs-20040427.tar.bz2.

Move them to /usr/portage/distfiles/

Proceed with emerge
