Why don't you just run wget -i filelist? In fact, you do not even need to edit the filelist to remove duplicates; you can just use wget's -nc option. So you can use wget -nc -i filelist or, if you want to do it in the background wget -nc -i filelist -b --progress=dot:mega > The /usr/portage/distfiles directory can very quickly grow, clean it > up every now and then. I suggest the tool eclean (part of gentoolkit).
