Problem: The "Press any key to exit.." user prompt in prozilla really hurts as it effectively prevents prozilla from being suitable for portage's file-batch-downloading. First I switched back to wget, then i wrote a tiny quick'n'dirty patch for prozilla which disabled this useless interactivity. Solution: Now I have taken a closer look at prozilla's sources and just found out that there *already is* a command line option which disables this prompt. The option is "--no-getch". "--no-getch" makes prozilla to just print the error to stdout and exit instead of waiting for the user to press a key. Thus i would strongly suggest to change the default fetchcommand for prozilla in /etc/make.globals to: FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/proz --no-getch -s \${x} -P \${DISTDIR}"
