You can; you want to use --no-poison (as in jhbuild build --no-poison) so that it doesn't skip anything. You *will* have to hit "ignore and continue" a lot more, but it will get everything on disk so you can then build again when you don't have a good internet connection.

*Do* build again so that you can get a good error analysis. It will make it easier if you then let that terminal window sit while you email the list, because you can open a shell in the checkout directory and look at what's going on.

Ah, so you got a bad download. Jhbuild isn't very good about detecting and correcting for that, unfortunately.

Delete /Users/admin/gtk/source/pkgs/gtk+-2.24.9.tar.xz and /Users/admin/gtk/source/pkgs/gtk+-2.24.9.tar.xz then try again.
