!!! Couldn't download 'skype-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2'. Aborting.

straight, The skype server is very slow for downloading (to slow for wget).
Comment 3 Max Steel 2011-04-23 11:05:29 UTC
with firefox (and a cup of tee) i can download it.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-05-06 05:32:51 UTC
nothing we can do about poor service connections to the server.  we cant mirror the file.  simply try again later, find another d/l location yourself, or dont use skype.  if you dont like these options, complain to skype.

fwiw, wget works just fine for me on first try:
$ wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2 -P /usr/portage/distfiles/
