Your first downloads should really present no problems if you follow the docs present (Gentoo has really wonderful documentation), but I hope you're not on dialup, as I must have spent several hours getting the thing connect, running back and forth between rooms, looking up stuff and trying it. Then I get to wait hours upon hours every time I want to download something, so compile times always take much less time than the download, so it's really too bad that they're more fun to watch. I still haven't been able to abandon XP, but once I get better sound card support and the people who write my composing app to port it to Linux ...
Oh, about XP being open to msn.com- did you by chance have any of that msmgs.exe (Windows Messenger, .NET, etc.) crap running? That just may have something to do with it.
