Unfortunately I don't yet have a Linux box at uni and therefore on the
net (I could do with a Windows batch file but as you say treke has
provided a large tar file with all of the source which I'm now
downloading so there's no need).

No that doesn't quite work, you also need to provide another file with
the same name + a suffix of md5 (it can be empty).

I wrote a little script and stuck it in my downloads directory:

#!/bin/sh
for i in { ls }; do
   touch $i.md5
Done

Then I just run that after sticking new stuff I there and then OE skips
the downloading step.

I'm doing that now, thanks for the link,

Cheers,
