15 He probably wants to update a computer that's got not internet connection.
16 Hence, he will need to get a list of the URI's to download in (a), then
17 fetch them from another computer (b), then put all the files on the
18 $DISTDIR of the (a) computer. Emerge will pick them from there instead of
19 looking for a way to download them.
