Especially since it should not be there. That is for portage you know.
/home/user/ would be a better spot.
What's wrong with /usr/portage/distfiles?
Well, I'm not sure I get what you are asking. I don't think
This is a relief. I should not have set up a directory in
/usr/portage. It would have made more sense in /usr/local/something.
