As root I performed the "emerge sqeed" (sqeed, not speed) command.
emerge downloaded the file and the md5 checksum matched. Upon
attempting to extract the file, the portage system reported that the .gz
file was not actually a .gz file. I examined the downloaded .gz file in
/usr/portage/distfile and saw that it is a 65 byte file that is actually
a short bit of html code, like a part of a 404 message or a page redirect.
Can someone else try to emerge this on their system and see if the
results are the same? Thank you.

I get the exact same results, with this as the content of the file:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://404.cjb.net/">

cjb.net is a provider of (suprise!) free URL redirects
