It is about 8GB of total diskspace, which includes the compiled files that
make the big difference.
The git repositories for libreoffice are about 2GB, which is reasonable for
a project of this magnitude.
Therefore, the build process requires to download about 2GB of data using
the git:// protocol.

Once you have those 2GB clones, subsequent updates are small and easy to do.

In addition to this, there are about 100-200MB of Linux dev packages to help
you compile LibreOffice.

Is that a 2Mbit/s line (256 Kbit/s * 8 KB/Kbit) or a 256Kbit/s line
(32KB/s)?

It is possible to create a ZIP file of those 2GB clones. Then, you can use
your favorite download manager to download this ZIP file from a web server.
Then, you uncompress it in your clone/ directory and continue with the
installation.

Best,
Simos
