I managed to get wget to fetch the files in foo.txt by running:
cat foo.txt |xargs -- wget -c -nc -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ -
also it would be a good idea to run
# emerge -fpveDN world emerge -fpvDN packagename1
packagename2 ...and so on because emerge -fpve{DN} world didn't quite
world as thorough as I would have liked it to.
Thank you all.

Thanks. I have noticed that certain packages will always try to download the latest sources. The only way out that I know of is to modify the ebuild file. -- Regards, Mick pgpAyoOtbkoCH.pgp Description: PGP signature
