[gentoo-user] downloading remote eix data file

[Thanasis]

I have a script that runs daily as a cron job, which among others, has 
the following command in it, in order to update locally the (remote) eix 
database.

wget -N http://gpo.zugaina.org/eix_cache/eix-cache.tbz2
But the command fails, and it looks like the file eix-cache.tbz2, which 
is downloaded, is either empty or corrupt.

Any one else faced/facing the same problem?
