Download of debug packages is extremely slow, eventual time out

Hi

I'm trying to generate a backtrace to report a crash in System Settings of KDE Plasma.
I run this command

coredumpctl gdb <pid of crashed app>

gdb starts to download the missing debug packages, but the download is extremely slow despite my download speed is 120 Mbps
and sometimes the download is aborted due to time out. Download is also extremely slow when I use drkonqi crash reporter of KDE Plasma.
I added debug repos to pacman.conf, the download is fast when I install debug packages with pacman, but the download with gdb and drkonqi is problematic as explained above.

Is there any to solution to make download of debug packages with gdb and drkonqi faster?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
