Ive just started getting this

Applying masks...
Calculating hash tables...
Writing database file /var/cache/eix/portage.eix...
Database contains 21506 packages in 184 categories
 * eix-remote add1
 * Unpacking data

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
	perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

 * cannot unpack /var/cache/eix/remote.tar.bz2

Probably your eix cachefile was *not* updated successfully.
Unless the above messages suggest another cause or you specified a
wrong filename, the most likely cause of this is that the server uses
another eix version than you or produced broken data. Please check whether
EIX_REMOTEARCHIVE is a valid *.tar.bz2 archive containing eix cachefiles
(you can download it using fetch).
If this is not the case (but was freshly downloaded), please report a bug.
Note that the archive is *not* broken if only the cachefile format versions
differ: In that case only report a bug if the eix cachefile format versions
in the downloaded file are *older* than that of the most current ~x86 eix
version in the portage tree (but first retry after several days before
reporting such a bug to give the server maintainers a chance to upgrade
after a version bump of eix).
Conversely, if the downloaded versions are even newer than that supported by
your eix, you will have to upgrade to the most current ~x86 version of eix
to use eix-remote: This inconvenience cannot be avoided and is not a bug!
