Currently they are on sourceforge mirrors AFAICT, so I expect that upstream will not mind if Gentoo users download from there. > Also, these take up a lot of space in distfiles.

I suggest that you add a "large" USE flag, and if it is enabled, download and install the whole thing. If disabled, just print the URLs in a log message, so the user can download themselves if they wish. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
