Is it an option for you to try making a local mirror of
the repository (or one of its mirrors)?

The Wiki has some pages describing how to get a big
archived tarball of the released repository files, and
update it via rsync, and set up a package server to
install the packages from your LAN or localhost. There
are also pages with addresses of individual package
servers (mirrors). Links here (maybe more pages have
similar info - search the wiki please):

* http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Mirrors
* http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Mirroring+OpenIndiana

Googling may also help, although you'd need to tweak
instructions for OpenSolaris to match OpenIndiana, i.e.:

* 
http://www.agileweboperations.com/setting-up-an-opensolaris-pkg-repository-mirror
* 
http://notallmicrosoft.blogspot.com/2010/04/complete-local-copy-mirror-of.html

I am not sure whether these pages are outdated though...
Please report if you try those Wiki and/or blog instructions
and find whether they work or need to be tweaked/updated :)

HTH,
