Normally, crosstool-NG will try to download missing tarballs (or
checkout from CVS/SVN...).
If you do not have network connectivity when you run crosstool-NG,
and some files are missing, it can be a long time before crosstool-NG
fails.
Saying 'y' here will prevent crosstool-NG from downloading missing
files, thus failing early so that you don't get stuck.

config FORCE_DOWNLOAD
bool
prompt "Force downloads"

help
Force downloading tarballs, even if one already exists.
Usefull if you suspect a tarball to be damaged.
config USE_MIRROR
bool
prompt "Use a mirror"
default n
help
If you have a machine on your LAN that mirrors some of the needed
tarballs, you can say 'Y' here, and configure adequate values in
the following options.
Obviously, nothing prevents you from using a mirror that is in fact
*not* on your LAN, for example on another subnet of your company's
network, or a mirror on the Internet.
if USE_MIRROR
config PREFER_MIRROR
bool
prompt "Prefer the mirror"
default n
help
Say 'Y' here if you prefer the LAN miror over the upstream sources.
config MIRROR_BASE_URL
string
prompt "Base URL"
default "http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/"
help
This is the base URL searched in for tarballs.
I (Yann E. MORIN) have set up such a mirror to host snapshots of
some components, when those snapshots are volatile on the upstream
servers. The mirror is *slow*, because it is hosted behind an ADSL
line. For the time being, I haven't set up bandwidth limitations,
but should the mirror be abused, I will. Please avoid using my
machine when you can... Also, no guarantee is made as to its
availability. Use at your own risks.
The mirror is available at:
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/mirrors/

config CONNECT_TIMEOUT
int
prompt "Connection timeout"
default 10
help
From the curl manual:
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take.
The scenario is as follows;
- some enterprise networks have firewalls that prohibit FTP traffic, while
still allowing HTTP
- most download sites have http:// equivalent for the ftp:// URL
- after this number of seconds, it is considered that the connection could
not be established, and the next URL in the list is tried, until we reach
an URL that will go through the firewall, most probably an http:// URL.
If you have a slow network, you'd better set this value higher than the default
10s. If you know a firewall is blocking connections, but your network is globally
fast, you can try to lower this value to jump more quickly to allowed URLs. YMMV.
Note that this value applies equally to wget if you have that installed.
config DOWNLOAD_MAX_CHUNKS
int
prompt "Maximum number of // chunks"
default 5
range 1 10
help
If you have aria2 installed, then it will be used to download files.
Aria2 can split the download in chunks, and download those chunks in //
which can be interesting to speed up the download.
On the other hand, using many chunks, or even chunking in general, may
be seen by some site admins as being kind of unfair, or even as a DoS.
That's why the range of acceptable values is [1..10], and the default
is 5 (aria2's default).
config ONLY_DOWNLOAD
bool
prompt "Stop after downloading tarballs"
default n
help
Only download the tarballs. Exit once it done.
Usefull to pre-retrieve the tarballs before going off-line.
