So I could bring the server to download substitutes and then take it back to my network for local download. I was told that an nginx mirror of hydra would cache only substitutes after they have been requested through it. Nevertheless, for those that need that, here is the config:

It's quiet bad that this low connectivity case, which is not that rare,
is not included. But we can work on it. In the meantime, you mentioned you
have one place with connectivity.
Could you create a mid-, short-, or long-distance mesh network with
it so that you reach it? Similar to what Freifunk with BATMAN does
and other international meshnetwork communities.

I think I know at least one more person (besides myself) who's
interested in solving problems like these.
