  From what I've undertood of the portage code, it first try to download
the tarballs from the mirrors (those that are mentionned by GENTOO_MIRRORS
variable in /etc/make.conf). If it can't be found on those mirrors, it
then it download it from the original place (as indicated by the SRC_URI
variable in the ebuild).
