Meteor development on slow connections

Meteor is practically unusable on slow connections in general and in China in particular. The great firewall is not kind to Meteor and its users and as most consumer-level VPNs only cover browser traffic I'm curious as for if there are any workarounds to the below:

What happens is that when you start the app:

$ meteor

You'll in many cases get either:

 Downloading [email protected]...

or..

 Downloading packages

After which the console is stuck for 10+ min and then you get one of the the below:

Unable to update package catalog (are you offline?)

Could not springboard to release: [email protected]

Has anyone found a workflow for Meteor development on slow connections that is not causing their blood pressure to peak on a daily basis?

Here in mexico, i have the same issue i cannot even download meteor on my pc, and finally when i downloaded meteor, it was impossible to download android sdk or some mobile platform, so i found this solution (If your purpose is to get started on meteor).

Nitrous.io, here just create one account, and for free you will have 1 box to play around, just select the type of box as meteor, and its donde, meteor is already installed, take a look
