Hello P.C.
The distfiles mirroring system keeps distfiles around for as long as
the ebuilds are in the Portage tree that refer to them; once all
ebuilds referring to a distfile are removed, the distfile will be
removed from the mirroring system in half a week or so. *
Long story short, if you want to have an older version of the Portage
tree you will need to have distfiles as well; otherwise you will depend
on what upstream and our developer space still provide.
* Based on comparing http://dev.gentoo.org/distfile-mirroring/ with the
dead files on http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/
