Most distfiles will be on the gentoo mirrors so you can save your list of names then do a simple for loop to wget all the files off of your favorite gentoo mirror.
Created attachment 150707 [details] list-distfiles I use the above script for this purpose. It takes the same arguments as emerge, for example : ./list-distfiles mozilla-firefox ./list-distfiles -uDN world It will list all required distfiles, including all those you already have in /usr/portage/distfiles. That's a choice I made since some upstreams tend to change their tarballs without warning, which is very annoying when you're out in the wild without a connection. Denis.
Could you try and see if what you want is in any way different from doing emerge --fetchonly -p [category/package ..] That will produce a list of URIs like so: # emerge --fetchonly -p app-portage/euses app-text/pinfo --nodeps These are the packages that would be fetched, in order: http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/distfiles/euses-2.5.5.tar.bz2 http://mirror.muntinternet.net/pub/gentoo/distfiles/euses-2.5.5.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/distfiles/euses-2.5.5.tar.bz2 http://www.xs4all.nl/~rooversj/gentoo/euses-2.5.5.tar.bz2 http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/distfiles/pinfo-0.6.9.tar.bz2 http://mirror.muntinternet.net/pub/gentoo/distfiles/pinfo-0.6.9.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/distfiles/pinfo-0.6.9.tar.bz2 http://alioth.debian.org/download.php/1498/pinfo-0.6.9.tar.bz2
