[gentoo-user] virtualbox installation problem

Hello everyone.
I want to install virtualbox, and for some reasons I need to download the
distfiles before the emerging process, so the emerge command wont try to
download anything.
I have download the required files, but extension pack ebuild ignores the
"Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.18-96516.vbox-extpack" file that I
have downloaded and tries to fetch it again.
Is there anything that I am missing?

Thanks for your help.

The output from the emerge command?

Chances are the file has changed recently and does not match the size or
checksum known to portage. Try re-syncing.

Thanks.
It just got fixed using the hints in the IRC channel.
The problem was that ebuild renames the file:
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.18-96516.vbox-extpack
to
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.18-96516.tar.gz
but I had though that it compresses the file. A simple renaming solved the
problem.
Thanks.
