I've just downloaded 15.3 and am making a USB install stick.  With

500/20 Mb Internet connection, writing the USB stick is taking much

That flag avoids your system becoming slow during the write. The
kernel will try to cache the entire image in RAM in case you want it
again for whatever, thus emptying every other file operation of buffer
space.
In case of errors:  conv=sync,noerror
I was lazy and used Studio Image Writer, though I have often used dd in
the past.
