Node.js Throttling

[swilliams11]

It appears that my requests to Node.js are being throttled. According to the console it will take 3 hours to download Nodejs version 8.2. It seems unusually to me. One request works every 5 or 10 minutes.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Saving to: ‘/tmp/node-v8.2.1-linux-x64.tar.xz’
0K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 833 3h44m
50K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 1.30K 3h2m

If this is the case the either

1. Cloud Foundry should store downloads in their cache and then we can determine if Node.js needs to be downloaded
   or
2. We should use the Node.js from the Nodejs buildpack (need to determine if we can access this)
   or
