I have this server at work, it has been running ok for a long time,
but I'd like to install some new apps to it, but I have a strongly
configured firewall (no rsync) and emerge-webrsync seems to fail every
time.

Is there another way to update portage tree? For my first update I
downloaded the snapshot and decompressed it directly to the filesystem
(but that requires a reboot and its kinda "brute force"). Is there a
way to download the snapshot and make emerge or even emerge-webrsync
to use the downloaded file instead of trying to download a new one?

Thanks for any sugestion.
