emerge portage fails

Hi,
Didn't update my machine for 6 months.
Now, I cannot emerge portage.
portage-2.1.4.4 is installed, but I cannot reinstall it or emerge portage-2.1.4.5.
Can anybody help me with the error messages? I am quite a noob.

This is the info in the shell:
./usr/sbin/quickpkg
./usr/sbin/regenworld
./usr/sbin/update-env
./usr/sbin/update-etc
>>> Done.
* checking 543 files for package collisions
>>> Merging sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.5 to /
--- /etc/
>>> /etc/etc-update.conf
>>> /etc/dispatch-conf.conf
>>> /etc/make.globals
>>> /etc/make.conf.example
--- /etc/logrotate.d/
>>> /etc/logrotate.d/elog-save-summary
--- /etc/portage/
!!! Failed to chown/chmod/unlink in movefile()
!!! /etc/portage/.keep_sys-apps_portage-0
!!! [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/etc/portage/.keep_sys-apps_portage-0'

This says /var/log/emerge.log:

gentoo wiki and main repo's are down, that's probably youre problem??

check this site for the explanation

I heard that you can give portage another installation source, so try to set a mirror, I believe you can find how in the install guide of gentoo.
