What else do you expect it to do? You can keep a local copy of distfiles on a USB stick and insert it when you want to fetch; this will help avoid duplicate downloads. But you are asking for something that is way out of the province of portage. If you really wanted to, you could parse the output of emerge -pv, grep just the Us and Ns, then re-run emerge -pvf for those packages, cat and sort -u the whole lot and finally redirect it to a file that you can redirect back into wget. I used to do this. Trust me, it's more trouble than it's worth. A 4G memory card just for distfiles will solve the problem nicely. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
