Since really only the initial clone is a problem, we could just offer a weekly updated tar ball of a bare clone for download. This download would just be ~ 5 GiB and would be resumable. Getting an up to date fgdata for the first time would then just be something like the following sequence: wget -c http://.../fgdata.git.tar.xz tar xJf fgdata.git.tar.xz cd fgdata git checkout master git pull This would keep all the advantages of having everything in the same repo while offering a reliable solution for people who download for the first time. Keeping the tar ball up to date would be a simple cron job. Any thoughts? Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
