Hi,

I would do something like this :

- "emerge aria2" on your box (nice wget replacement which can download
from more hosts/protocols at the same time).

- run this command on your mother's box :

for url in $(emerge -fpuvDN world|grep -v "These are the packages that
would be fetched, in order:"|grep -v "Calculating") ; do echo ; echo
aria2c $url ;done > packages.sh

- copy the packages.sh on your box

-  run  ". packages.sh" on your box. This will download all the
required pakages in the current directory.

regards,

Boris.
