emerge --pretend --fetchonly should not download anything, but it does:

# ls -lha /var/distfiles/
total 68K
drwxrwxr-x  2 root portage  60K May 14 12:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root    4.0K May 18  2015 ..
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge --nodeps =fluentd-1.4.0 -fpv

These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:
