This will result in 5 times the network traffic. For a person who is not 
interested in historical data it will be the least optimal solution. 
Unfortunately openjdk.java.net does not offer a source bundle download 
any more.

I would suggest one of the following:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/j/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.65-15.b17.fc24.src.rpm

http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/drops/icedtea7/2.7.0/

Both of them support the resume of the download with 'wget -c' or 
graphical download managers, and both of them will result in much 
smaller download size. Of course RPM then needs 3 layers of unpacking, 
while drops of icedtea 7 will require some manual work to put the tree 
together to make it buildable.
