Description Johan 2003-04-02 15:42:52 UTC
Feature request(my first :) 

I would like to see portage prefetch my files. Like when i emerge a file with a lot of dependencies it starts downloaden the next tarball while compiling the current. This way the process would speed up a little bit for people with low banthwith (<- spelled wrong i know my englisch is bad)

Currently doing a emerge -f parallel to the other emerge sometimes crashed because both want to download the same file.
