Hi, There's no need to clone repos... when you use image builder or os builder it will download only the required packages.
You can also put a proxy cache in between the build script and the Internet (set the http_proxy variable) to make sure that when you go to run the build again nothing will need re-downloaded. I have used polipo for this before and it works very nicely - if you set that as the proxy then to store files whilst running scripts nothing ever gets downloaded twice. Re. downloading itself - why not schedule/run any large downloads overnight? That will likely be required as you won't normally get away with stuff that will download during the day...
