This is going to take a while as it's around 3GB packed.

If you set BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS ?= "1" in your local.conf you'll
find the packed tarball in your downloads directory once the fetch completes.

You can download the tarballs from my website http://www.mlbassoc.com/poky
These are from the latest build which I made on 2014-06-13.  Just put them
in your downloads directory (or mirror).  Don't forget to create the 'done'
stamp when you've downloaded it, e.g.
   % touch downloads/git2_github.com.raspberrypi.firmware.git.tar.gz.done

Good luck - If you have troubles, try the mailing list again as
I'll be away on holiday.
