Hello,

This can be solved by changing the URL of the file with something more secure than a random domain...

Here is a workaround:

wget -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/tiacx-firmware/acx-firmware-20060207.tar.bz2

worked great :-) just the location in the ebuild and close this bug because as of 14/05/2011 persists...
