You then need a script to download each url ONLY if one of the earlier url's for the same file hasn't worked. >Other idea could be to have a script > that downloads the gentoo-way using what emerge print now, checking > mirrors, etc. Like a tiny version of emerge. > > -- > Fernando Canizo - http://www.lugmen.org.ar/~conan/ > <ciaranm> antialiasing? > <ciaranm> the alcohol does that for you > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
