I was talking about the tor browser that is downloaded in `config/chroot_local-hooks/10-tbb`, through a series of `curl` commands. This part takes forever to complete. I didn't notice that it was cached as well. > Any way, the "offline" option is supposed to enable a true offline building > mode, and if a build fails due to lack of Internet access, that is a bug.

That would, of course, be the best > solution. I'm comfortable with C, but not comfortable at all with these network and proxy things ;) But it's nice that you point me in the right direction. At least I know where to look next.
