Acid, are you running a firewall?

I have the same problem with emerging kde-i18n-nl (yesterday). At this moment the only thing i know that it is being downloaded from a ftp-site. I will try (maybe) tomorrow again without my firewall running, because i think it blocks ftp-data.

OK, i think i know wath go's wrong. The emerge-script is pointing to /pub/kde/kde/stable/3.0.3/src/ instead of /pub/kde/stable/3.0.3/src/. You can download it using ie Mozilla at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.3/src/ and save it to /usr/portage/distfiles and then run emerge.
