Was unable to find way to undo damage.
Opted to reinstall template, but I cannot download it without my connection dropping, and thus timing me out. dnf does not resume the download, despite it claiming to be saving the download to cache.
I have put keepcache=true in dnf.conf, with no results.
cannot wget from dom0. Should I wget from some other VM?
Qubes 3.2
qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-debian-8
You should definitely be able to install a template you downloaded and copied
via whatever means into dom0.
Please be aware that download-resumes are a feature on the server as much as
on the client.
Your wget should be able to tell you if a resume is possible serverside by
just testing it (ctrl-c it after 100KB, and use the --continue flag on second
try.
I ve seen the qubes builder create a script that installs an rpm directly
from local file, hence I know it is possible. Just don' t know how.

Hm. I wasn't notified of these responses. I appreciate everyone's input.
I ended up editing yum.conf, under [main], and adding minrate=1, and timeout=2000.
(I also edited keepcache to 1)
Now yum/dnf doesn't timeout after periods of slow transfer speeds.
Seems to be working, as I am now halfway done with the download with only 2 more hours to go.
A apologize, this seems to be a yum issue and not a qubes issue. I just wasn't sure what was going on behind the scenes and was under the impression that yum had no problems with resuming downloads. I thought maybe qubes-dom0-update was breaking that.
After several hours of downloading, the connection was dropped (24hr captive portal), and now I have to start all over again.
keepcache doesn't seem to have any effect in dnf.conf or yum.conf.
Perhaps it's a server issue, but it will not resume the transfer.
try changing dns servers. google yum command to change servers you download from.
lol i forgot there is no more yum. have you tried this already? sudo gedit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf fastmirror=true
