Split-up download and extract options into two separate files, because download options are begining to be numerous.

+config FORCE_DOWNLOAD
+    bool
+    prompt "Force downloads"
+    default n
+    help
+      Force downloading tarballs, even if one already exists.
+      
+      Usefull if you suspect a tarball to be damaged.
+
+config ONLY_DOWNLOAD
+    bool
+    prompt "Stop after downloading tarballs"
+    default n
+    help
+      Only download the tarballs. Exit once it done.
+      
+      Usefull to pre-retrieve the tarballs before going off-line.
+
+config CONNECT_TIMEOUT
+    int
+    prompt "connection timeout"
+    default 10
+    help
+      From the curl manual:
+        Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take.
+
+      The scenario is as follows;
+        - some enterprise networks have firewalls that prohibit FTP traffic, while
+          still allowing HTTP
+        - most download sites have http:// equivalent for the ftp:// URL
+        - after this number of seconds, it is considered that the connection could
+          not be established, and the next URL in the list is tried, until we reach
+          an URL that will go through the firewall, most probably an http:// URL.
+
+      If you have a slow network, you'd better set this value higher than the default
+      10s. If you know a firewall is blocking connections, but your network is globally
+      fast, you can try to lower this value to jump more quickly to allowed URLs. YMMV.
+
+      Note that this value applies equally to wget if you have that installed.
+
+      Of course, you'd be better off to use a proxy, as offered by the following
+      choice of options.
+
+choice
+    bool
+    prompt "Proxy type"
+    default PROXY_TYPE_NONE
+
+config PROXY_TYPE_NONE
+    bool
+    prompt "No proxy"
+    help
+      Select this option if you have a direct connection to the internet,
+      or if you already set the environment adequately.
+
+config PROXY_TYPE_HTTP
+    bool
+    prompt "HTTP proxy"
+    help
+      Use an HTTP proxy to connect to to the internet.
+      Only the http and ftp protocols will be tunneled through this
+      proxy.
+
+      Alternatively to setting this option, you can set and export the
+      following variables in your environment:
+        ftp_proxy=http://user:passwd@proxy.server:port/
+        http_proxy=http://user:passwd@proxy.server:port/
+        https_proxy=http://user:passwd@proxy.server:port/
+
+# Haha! Here is an interesting feature/bug of mconf!
+# The following config entries will be shown out-side the
+# choice menu!
+# To add a third entry in the choice menu, add it after the
+# if...endif conditional below, and so on for a fourth entry...

+config PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS
+    bool
+    prompt "SOCKS 4/5 proxy (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+    depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+    help
+      Use a Socks 4/5 proxy to connect to the internet.
+      All protocols can get tunneled through this kind of proxy (depending
+      on your proxy configuration, some do not allow all protocols, but
+      chances are that protocols needed by crosstool-NG are allowed).
+
+      Alternatively to setting this option, you can configure tsocks
+      system-wide, and set and export the following variable in your
+      environment:
+        LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/your/tsocks-library.so
+
+      This option makes use of the tsocks library. You will have to have tsocks
+      installed on your system, of course.
+
+      If you think you do not know what tsocks is, or how to configure it,
+      chances are that you do not need to set this option.

+    bool
+    prompt "Auto"
+    help
+      crosstool-NG will attempt to guess what type of SOCKS version
+      the proxy speaks.
