As Mike pointed out, there is a Fetching files section in /etc/make.conf 
(/etc/make.conf.example)

I think that adding this to /etc/make.conf will do the trick:
FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 --proxy-user=spsingh --proxy-passwd=passwd 
--passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 --proxy-user=spsingh 
--proxy-passwd=passwd --passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"

Ohhh and you would also need export ftp_proxy="..."

Sorry for posting this 'spoiler' of Mike's hint, but i think that it'll be 
better for Sumeet to know exactly what to do when he'll try installing gentoo 
again.
