Where is it mentioned how not to keep downloading the tar files? for

   The automatic download saves manually downloading 70 or so individual dependencies; you can 
argue that it sucks (and it does) - but doing that manually sucks more =)

A build for a newcomer has to be run three or four times?  Why should the tar files get 
downloaded four times?  How does a newcomer turn it off after the first download?  Tor had to 
explain that to me.

There is no need to "turn it off". The tarballs are only downloaded
_once_. It has always been that way. If it does not work for you, there
is something seriously wrong on your end.
