ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/
and then mirror "lib/", "doc/",...
Example with lftp + zsh (emerge zsh if not yet installed):
$ cd
$ mkdir xorg; cd xorg
$ lftp ftp.x.org
> cd pub/individual
> mirror lib doc utils xproto xserver
[ go an have a cup of coffee ]
> quit
# su
# zsh
# for B (**/*.bz2)(cp $B /usr/portage/distfiles/)
Then it's OK.
But one question. Is not there any way to get portage try another
source? Why does portage try only freedesktop.org server? It appears
that ftp.x.org is an up mirror: why not use it too?
