Did you wait long enough? http is *very* slow and there is no progress feedback during the cloning: ,---- | $ time git clone http://orgmode.org/org-mode.git | Cloning into org-mode... | | real 5m5.885s | user 0m22.610s | sys 0m3.660s `---- Using the system monitor applet in Gnome, I see my (gigabit ethernet) link getting pretty much saturated and I see regular "ticks" on the disk, so things get trasmitted and saved, but it took more than five minutes for the whole thing to clone (vs. 2.5 mins for a clone over git - which also meters progress so you can that it's doing something). OTOH, atm I'm not behind a firewall and it's conceivable that your IT department has shut off access to orgmode somehow. I'd talk to them about it. Also, if they provide a socks proxy, you might be able to clone over git using socksify or tsocks and avoid the pain of http. Nick PS BTW, I know that git gc is recommended on local repos, but is that applicable to the repo on orgmode.org? and would that help with the cloning time? 2.5 mins seems long to me.
