Why is the download process for nougat so long and is there a better way rather than using repo sync to visualize the amount of files and size is necessary to download the source of nougat?

repo sync is better! try with high speed internet connection, I used 80Mbps line and it took 2hrs . Observe repo sync activities to get % completed info.

You can specify the clone depth, number of threads syncing and a baisc understanding of how many projects are syncing along with an assumption that it is around +10gb to sync.

# I use these commands for faster clone

repo init --depth=1 -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest

repo sync -c -n -j 4 && repo sync -c -l -j 16

it depends on your Network speed, for better times
