Can I download it manually and put it in?
how is this related to openwrt ?
This is what happens when executing make download -j10 V=s
.
answer the question instead, or understand what the make is actually doing.
I don't know what answer you want. There are many people in this situation.
that sucks for you, and them, but it's still not an openwrt issue.
I just want to ask if there is a way to manually download and put it into the openwrt directory I cloned
If you jack up the verbosity (-j1 V=s
), you should see which of the servers is slow for you. While there is not a whole lot you can do about it, you can look for a faster mirror and/ or dump the (correct) file into dl/

I do pull uwaterloo.ca
from the mirror rotation for my own builds, as that server regularly misbehaves for me, but do investigate what is acting up for you first.
Thank you guys! I used -j1 to obtain the url https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/u-boot/u-boot-2023.04.tar.bz2 and downloaded it with idm multi-threading, then put it in dl/ and it solved the problem.
