use curl to d/l the sources, or any other http downloader. Even firefox will do at a pinch. emerge -pvf <package> shows what you'll need to fetch. Now that I think about it, there's a FETCH setting in make.conf where you can define the d/l command portage uses. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
