If you are doing lots of downloads, use 'emerge -pvf FOO' and feed each |
| 6 |
line of that output to whatever you want to do your fetching. |

On that, I haven't kept up with the code in recent years, is there a way |
| 9 |
that portage itself can hand off those entire lines to a fetching |
| 10 |
application, instead of putting them in one by one? (Telling the app |
| 11 |
about the expected size and checksums would be handy too). |
