Make a mirror of Android SDK Update Sites - works for both standalone and Android Studio built-in SDK Managers

android/repository

It mirrors Android SDKs, which Android Studio built-in and standalone SDK Manager both can download from. Ideal for a crowded place, e.g. classroom, Study Jams, and Code labs.
