Wanna 'emerge info' for me? Anything weird on your system? I looks to me like you're having issues with actually connecting. The errors make it look like something on your box is misbehaving.
Actually it was the remote host that closed the connection after a few seconds, rather abruptly at that. I think remote fixing needs a few more error messages.
