Once downloaded, you can back them up. I use rsync (running in Termux).
The directory tree is all readable inside the app.

General layout:

/data/data/com.termux/files
                           /cache
                           /code_cache
                           /files

				     /var

As I recall it was just a matter of selecting which of the list I'd
prefer to use. I prefer not to use any of the ones in China and prefer
to try North American ones first. It's faster to pick ones that are not
an ocean away.

There's a difference there between us. I tried first, then looked for
help with what I wanted. I don't know of a tutorial, but I haven't
looked for one either. There's a mailing list, which I'm on, that gets
very little traffic. There's a wiki with some basic info. There's code
and issue tracking at github.

https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Getting_started

https://github.com/termux/

People also ask and answer questions here. I try to read all the posts
with Termux in the Subject, but this group is pretty far down my .newsrc
so I don't reach it every time I look at Usenet.
