I'm not sure I follow everything you said but I'll try to respond
to the bits I do understand...

Use wget. It will reconnect/continue automatically. Even if a download
fails and leaves a partial file, you can use "wget -c" to continue
where it left off.

I haven't personally run into "github is inaccessible" or had
downloads from it fail. Maybe there's a problem with your ISP?

If you're running SlackBuilds manually, without a tool like sbopkg
or sbotools, the "source" (the .deb, in this case) goes in the same
directory as the .Slackbuild and .info files. That's covered in the
FAQ on our site, I'm surprised you're having trouble with this.

If you're using sbopkg or sbotools, the standard location is defined
by the tool's author. It has nothing to do with slackbuilds.org
itself, our documentation is only for the stuff we actually created.
See the documentation for the tool.

This mailing list isn't really for sbopkg or sbotools discussion, I'm
sure those tools have their own mailing lists. It's not *forbidden*
to talk about them here, it's just not likely to be fruitful.
