Thanks for the help, Stroller. But that command did not work so well.
wget translated $foo to foo.txt instead of reading line line in foo.txt.
I managed to get wget to fetch the files in foo.txt by running:
cat foo.txt |xargs -- wget -c -nc -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ -
also it would be a good idea to run
# emerge -fpveDN world && emerge -fpvDN <packagename1>
<packagename2> ...and so on because emerge -fpve{DN} world didn't quite
world as thorough as I would have liked it to.
Thank you all.
Marz
