Did you find a solution?
There must be a file to delete befoer trying again, but which one?

It appears the mirrors I've selected never have today's snapshot. For some
reason I'm ahead by a day.

This was easily correct by setting attempts=1 in emerge-webrsync script.
Everything works fine now.

Yes. emerge-webrsync seems to be broken, I suppose. Applying the
following patch helped me:

--- emerge-webrsync.unverändert 2004-09-30 11:30:22.634334808 +0200
+++ emerge-webrsync 2004-09-30 11:30:40.603603064 +0200
@@ -93,7 +93,6 @@

if (($got_md5 == 0 )); then
echo "unable to fetch md5sum, no way to detect corruption. bailing"
- exit 1
elif [ -s "${FILE}" ]; then
if eval "$md5_com"; then
echo "existing snapshot $FILE is correct, using it"

Looks good.
I don't understand why the script must exit if it cannot fetch md5sum.
Wouldn't it make sense to continue to the next attempt.
(Basically the same results as starting with attempts=1 instead of
attempts=0).

Yes, it would. The patch in the bug entry I posted, does exactly
this and is thus a lot better than my hack.
