STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:

Would it be possible to create a download cache somewhere outside the Python 
source tree, so "git clean -fdx" would not remove this cache?

Some CIs implement such cache. Does buildbot have helpers for that?

buildbot provides for example:

* LRUCache: https://docs.buildbot.net/2.4.0/full.html#module-buildbot.util.lru
* State: https://docs.buildbot.net/2.4.0/full.html#keeping-state
* Server cache: https://docs.buildbot.net/2.4.0/full.html#caches

In this case, one option would be to enhance PCbuild/get_external.py to add 
support for a cache directory.
