Actually that first line of code ends up trying to download the same file over and over. I think there are a bunch of different paths specified for each file so it can always find one that works. I think it is trying to download each one of those. The alternate solution ends up in the same situation as before with a bunch of bad paths. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
