But online search is not enough, because I need to access those repositories offline, they must be downloadble.
Hello ? welcome to the 21 century.
Could you be a little less harsh please?
If you consider the issue more carefully, you'll see that there are lots of users with less-than-optimal internet connectivity. There are people that have to pay for bandwidth. It may not be apparent to you, but even downloading a >100 MB openoffice package can be a weeks-long adventure in places/countries different than yours.
And think of those users that we *could* have if we could improve the usability of our products in those conditions. Well, bandwidth doesn't seem to be Alexey's problem if he wants to download all repos :)
And I don't think we should optimize our setup to the conditions you mention. If tweaks are possible ot improve it, fine. But optimizing for a small fraction of our users (and that's what Cristian's harsh words really mean :) sounds plain wrong.
