The linux-imx and linux-libc-headers-imx use same GIT server and it
does take a looooooong time to download as those are huge. powertop
and others are better to cleanall them and give it a new try.

One thing that might explain the corrupt file is if you press Ctrl-C
many times to force the interruption. So it will kill the transfer and
left a broken file as result. In case you press Ctrl-C *once* it'll
finish after it has done current running tasks, safely.

Read above.

Yes it is. You can setup your internal mirror if you wish and set
Yocto to fetch from there before trying others or restrict it for a
specific mirror.

No; it runs many fetches in parallel so it is hard to provide
information for each in realtime.
