So what?
That's part of the problem.

I have tried. Does not work.

Fast? FAST? You gotta be out of your mind.

Don't tell me to shut up. :-/

I don't interrupt the process. I leave it running. It almost always fails 
on its own. And no, when I come back a retry does not work, because 
factory has changed again and has to restart again. I try again, and again 
it fails. I try again and again it fails. I have to retry a dozen times, 
and each attempt takes several hours.

What is it you do not understand? Simply downloading the files takes 
several hours! I simply can not download the thing before the repo changes 
and I have to restart the download, again and again and again.

You can do it because you have the entire network of the university or 
wherever your server is at your disposal. I don't have that class of 
bandwidth.
