You are not the only one who would like to have this. Heaven knows how many
newcomers are unable to get a successful clone of fgdata - which is necessary
for anyone who wants to use and keep up with the bleeding-edge
flightgear/simgear. The forum routinely has this problem bought up. All kind of
fixes are suggested such as using torrent, an fgdata bundle, wget –c. These
tips are of course easy to find if you have time to read all the past messages
both here and on the forum. None of this makes a pleasant welcome to any would
be developer.
Not everyone lives in a big city with fast broadband and the powers that be
seem to bury their heads in the sand when the topic is bought up - as it has
been and will be – again and again and again.

Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Howto download aircraft ( and others data )
from Git
Thanks Saikrishna
.
Though my question was to Arnt remark.
By the way:
Working in a consistent way with FG source 2.99 wants FGData without the
Aircraft directory ( we don't need it )
Isn't it possible to have an extract of FGData without Aircraft ?
All the best

The answer was posted a while back. In the short term (immediately),
the only ways to get the full fgdata bundle is to either use git or
download the 5 GB bundle and update from that, both of which are not
possible*. In the long term, according to James, the repo will be
reorganized such that the sizes are smaller.
*: Technically, a torrent download of the bundle would allow you pause
and resume, so if there are cut-outs, you won't have to restart. That
being said, downloading 5 GB on a phone line will take a long time (a
week?).
