GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo 
http://cfx5.tgv.net/mirror/gentoo"
first url is an "official" mirror, second can be used if first is down.

Put the packages you download under /usr/portage/distfiles. emerge will pick 
them up automatically.
Instead of doing emerge rsync you can download latest portage tree (see FAQ) 
and untar it under /usr (so it creates/overwrites /usr/portage).
Please search through archives for more (gentoo-user mailing list contains 
even more stuff and is probably more appropriate for such questions.)
