That sounds fishy.
Before emerging try using mirrorselect to get the fastest mirrors:
# mirrorselect -a -s3
(If you don't have mirrorselect,then emerge mirrorselect; it's small)
Or try another way of downloading.
You can also just download the source (I think it's emerge -f), and then
do the compiling later (good for laptops!).
You might want to check out the forums on the problem -- they've always
been helpful for me. http://forums.gentoo.org
