Hey all,

I've been trying to install Apache and PHP. With the installation of apache,
the install has been failing when the system tries to download
net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1. After trying in vain to connect to several servers
the system finally does succeed when connecting to:

get-software.techbuyer.com ... 208.254.3.166

The download begins, but very little of the software is downloaded before I
get the message:

!!! Couldn't download httpd-2.0.55.tar.bz2. Aborting.

For PHP, the system connects to us2.php.net:80, downloads the package, then
reports:

!!! Couldn't download php-4.4.0.tar.bz2. Aborting.

I tried to install these pieces of software yesterday and today with the
same result. I've installed several other packages including ctypes,
wxPython, emacs, and a few others, so I don't think there's anything wrong
with portage. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks,

Shawn
