Has anyone emerged a new system in the last two days?

I'm about to file a bug report, but want some corroboration. It looks like there are corrupted files in portage on all the mirrors, including ibiblio. Has anyone managed to install a new system in the last two days?

I have just finish a new computer yesterday and everything work well....

I have started this install one week ago, so it might be the difference

I installed everything within the past 2 days, and so far it seemed to go ok with me. I'm using the oregonstate.edu mirror, and was using the twobit mirror, until it went down.

I've rebuilt 2 systems from scratch since yesterday and have had no problems at all.

pair.com has at least one corrupted file on it and there was another mirror from Indiana I think that had the same file it was m4-something. Oregon state has the correct file though. I think ibiblio had some other file in emerge system that was corrupted

I have been installing for two days now, beginning with stage1. No bigger problems. I have been using one of the german servers, University Bochum.

Just emerged full system w/fluxbox (no gnome/kde yet). Using ibiblio's ftp mirror.

Question: does this underscore a weakness in the Gentoo methodology? How do corrupted files find their way into the mirrors?

Anyone have a problem with their /etc/conf.d/net script getting corrupt? I've installed two new systems in the last couple days and both have had a corrupt file. I'm not sure if its my install script or if its Portage.
