OK. After I did a "emerge rsync", it said that I should update portage and that's what I did "emerge -u portage" but then it kept downloading and compiling? I thought that it onlu update the portage tree? :(

emerge sync updates the tree.

The -u flag to emerge updates both Portage and any dependencies (and dependencies of dependencies and so on). If you just do 'emerge portage' it'll only update Portage.
