I did a manual download once, I think the command you want is emerge metadata. May want to try that first. I'm also familiar with dial-up. I used to be on a slow 26K connection. It sucks. My sympathies and I hope you can get a better connection one day soon. Yea cable modem. :-) You do know that if you get it to where you can do a regular sync, it is a lot faster than a manual download, most of the time anyway?? Just a thought. Hope that helps.
