Here http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/TIP_Gentoo_for_dialup_users I found this gem: emerge -fpu world | sort | uniq | sed '/\(^http\|^ftp\).*/!d;s/\ .*$//g' > links.txt But something doesn't seem right. links.txt has 92 lines(I added the ND switches) that all use only one URL, distfiles.gentoo.org, for each package. It's 5.5k. But the raw command lists several URLs for each package and it's gotta be ~200k. And if you read the article the wget command is meant to skip the other URLs as soon as one instance of the pkg has been downloaded: "With wget, just do: wget -i links.txt -nc Option -i tells wget to look inside links.txt for URLs of stuff to download, option -nc tells it not to download it twice or thrice once the file has been retrieved from a working URL." Am I missing something here?
