I usually delete the offender from distfiles and let it download again. If it still fails, try sync'ing again. After that, wait until portage gets updated and try again. You could also be nice and see if there is a bug report about the offender and file one if not so the maintainer knows about it. That said, it could be that the server you are getting them from is having problems. I have ran into that a time or two as well. Switching servers may help. That's my thoughts at least.
