well , it happened to me once , and made a bug report about the md5 itself , asking to correct it, but well... If the generated md5 is wrong , you portage will end up trying all mirrors, downloading the package eatch time , then if n the ebuild the packager provided a link to the original source , then portage will download the source from there again and again , untill the server ban you. not that mutch a prob if you are behind your comp , bigger one if you emerge before going to work and come back 8 hours later or after 3 days of vacations Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: your comp keep downloading stuff Expected Results: perhaps give up after 5 downloads from a source or so, perhpas automaticaly send an error..
as fas as i can tell, there exists no solution to this ...
