I just wanted to note that it may be unnecessary to edit a list of |
| 16 |
files in editor to remove the extra mirrors. I usually do: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
cat files-to-fetch.lst | cut -d " " -f1 | wget -c -i - |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and it downloads only using the first mirror for every file. It doesn't |
| 21 |
check for the existing files though. So it depends on the situation. I |
| 22 |
use my broadband Internet connection at work to fetch any number of |
| 23 |
files for my home PC. So it doesn't matter for me whether I download |
| 24 |
some files that I already have, but it may be important in your case. |
| 25 |
Perhaps, it would be useful if emerge had such a feature - to |
| 26 |
generate a list of files that do really need to be downloaded. |
