I think "wget -c" will only download if the size doesn't match. And if you trust your internet connection enough, you can use "wget -nc", which only downloads if a file of the same name does not exist (but doesn't check for length/size). Though, seeing that the internet connection is on a separate machine, maybe the OP would like to have integrity checking while downloading (so he won't run into "D'oh, the MD5 sum doesn't match" problem). And with my poor "skillz" in programming, I'd rather install portage on Debian then to hack a replacement to download and check the md5 for the packages.
