I am currently installing gentoo for the first time and have an error when running the command...

emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources

The file linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2 is downloaded and placed in the directory /usr/portage/distfiles.

When it downloads, it trys to reconnect to the web server and download it again. The error I get is...
---------------------------------
Connecting to www.ibiblio.org[152.2.210.81]:80 .... connected
HTTP request sent, awaiting response ... 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

The file is already fully retrieved: nothing to do.

!!! Couldn't download linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r7.patch.bz2. Aborting
!!! emerge aborted on /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7.ebuild.
--------------------------------------

I am now stuck as I don't have a Linux kernel source tree to build!!!

Anyone have any ideas please

Thanks

Please don't take it personally, as it is your first post, but there's a lot of discission on this issue going on over here, so could you please follow that thread instead? Thanks. Locking this one so people don't get confused and answer in two places.
