I try to repo sync cyanogenmod source. It got until the 99% stage, but it seems that there is a big file in this stage, and because of quite frequent disconnections of my internet connection, it doesn't manage to download it.
Every time a disconnection occurs, a fatal: early EOF is printed, the repo sync stops and it seems that in its next run, it starts this file from the beginning, although saving a temporary object of it before.
Is there a way to tell repo sync to start in its next run from the point it stopped in a specific file, instead of starting it from the beginning?
I tried running the repo sync in an inifinite loop overnight, but the download didn't end, instead my memory got full.
The temporal files are under the folder ~/android/system/.repo/project-objects/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base.git/objects/pack in the format:
78M tmp_pack_7JhRgA
106M tmp_pack_fprjIZ
523M tmp_pack_tydAd5
436M tmp_pack_po9dEw
780M tmp_pack_rewDSS
I also tried to delete these temporary files before every new repo sync to avoid a full memory, but it still doesn't help to end the download. By the way, it seems that deleting them doesn't make the next run to start from a different point, so it confirms the suspicion that it ignores them in the next run.
The exact repo sync command that I run is repo sync -j4 -f -c
The repo init command was:
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
The error printed after an internet disconnection is:

At the end, it seems that the problem was enhanced because using VMWare, which was used to run the Ubuntu machine. Somehow VMWare caused the internet interface to disconnect frequently, and when I tried using VirtualBox, although now and then a fatal: early EOF occured, at the end the internet interface was steady enough to complete the sync.
