The hash file is downloaded, if any of the other files already exist and hashes match it will use the existing file and not download again. As mentioned in another reply, try a real mirror, especially if you are further away from the origin server in Canada used for cdn.openbsd.org and reasonably close to a mirror it will often work a lot better. (The cdn does cache but except at around release time files will have often dropped out of cache). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
