Manual downloads.... to where?

I'm trying to emerge nikto and get these messages:

root@wizard net-libs # emerge -vp nikto

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N F ] net-libs/libwhisker-1.8 +ssl 107 kB
[ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nikto-1.32 +ssl 337 kB

root@wizard net-libs # emerge nikto

>>> emerge (1 of 2) net-libs/libwhisker-1.8 to /

!!! net-libs/libwhisker-1.8 has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information.

OK, let's see what the ebuild says:

}

I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to download which libwhisker tarball and where to extract it to in order to perform the emerge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There you go

Download that, and save it as /usr/portage/distfiles/libwhisker-current.tar.gz.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Thanks. Worked like a charm.

This might be a good place to ask: how do I use a package cd correctly?

copy the binary packages (I guess you meant these) to /usr/portage/distfiles and use -k, then the binary files will get extracted if there is one for what you want to install..
