This is odd:

>>> Emerging (1 of 199) x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.2 to /
>>> Resuming download...
>>> Downloading

    The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.

!!! Couldn't download xextproto-7.0.2.tar.bz2. Aborting.
Error in sys.exitfunc:


I find it strange that emerge can say "fully retrieved, nothing to do"
and "Couldn't download" in the same breath.  I've tried a few things
like cleaning out distfiles and downloading the file manually, I can't
seem to make portage happy.  Also tried turning off parallel-fetching,
but that only got rid of the "sys.exitfunc" error.   Help?

Delete the file from $DISTDIR (/usr/portage/distfiles) if it is there, 
emerge --sync and try again.

Shouldn't be necessary.
