When I run "emerge --update system" I see the following:

=============================================================================
This has happened repeatedly even at different mirrors.

Prior to this, glibc 2.3.2-r9 was emerged with the command:
emerge --update system


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
downloaded the entire binutils-2.14.90.0.7.tar.bz2 and finish emerge

finally got it to dowload and finish at http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/
with no idea of reason for previous problem at 3 other mirrors

I can't recreate this..   could have been a network issue at the time??

If it happens again, please re-open this bug and list all of the mirrors you tried.

btw, 370K/s, nice speed!

Cheers!
