Yes, In my case, the connection was very unstable and slow, it took about 10days to download whole tree. It was terrible. So, I made ISO files from this downloaded tree except SRPMS. If you need this ISO files, please let me know. Or if this is no problem to put these files on internet server, I'll put them on public area.
