media-libs/sdl-ttf won't compile when I try to emerge it. 

Here are the logs:

I am able to install other packages just fine. sdl-ttf is the only one throwing the 503 Service Unavailable error.

It seems odd to get a 503 for both distfiles.gentoo.org and libsdl.org. It's likely on your end.

Also, what happens if you try populating mirrors in GENTOO_MIRRORS in make.conf?

Populating mirrors in GENTOO_MIRRORS solved the problem. Kind of weird the 503 was affecting only one package.
