Hi Alex,

The problem is that the links.txt file was generated by 'emerge -fp
world' and has a bunch of alternate paths for each file separated by
'%20'.  Using 'wget -ci links.txt' turns out like this:

http://gentoo.ccccom.com/distfiles/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.fr.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.at.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.uk.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2%20http:/www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2
           => `man-pages-2.07.tar.bz2'

Do you know how to get 'emerge -fp world' to return only one path per
file or get wget to use the %20-separated alternate paths properly?
