The ebuild file for Ethereal lists "http://ethereal.zing.org/distribution/${P}.tar.gz" as the URL to fetch the source packages from. The correct location is actually "http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/${P}.tar.gz". The "zing.org" URL is pretty old; the site moved to ethereal.com in October 2000.
