Interestingly, I am on Comcast in Cambridge, MA, USA and git.gnome.org has twice the ping time as well: PING svn.gnome.org (91.189.93.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 91.189.93.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=86.194 ms 64 bytes from 91.189.93.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=83.672 ms 64 bytes from 91.189.93.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=94.215 ms 64 bytes from 91.189.93.3: icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=86.731 ms 64 bytes from 91.189.93.3: icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=86.210 ms PING git.gnome.org (209.132.176.202): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 209.132.176.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=165.540 ms 64 bytes from 209.132.176.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=165.327 ms 64 bytes from 209.132.176.202: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=165.998 ms 64 bytes from 209.132.176.202: icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=163.998 ms 64 bytes from 209.132.176.202: icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=165.434 ms (This is a fraction of a longer run; the times are pretty steady.) More samples from contributors would be necessary to say definitively, but it would seem as though svn.g.o has a "better" net connection than git.g.o. If the size of git downloads is pretty uniformly larger than svn's (we know it is for initial checkouts, I'm not sure about updates) then we're taking a hit from both sides and the pain is compounded.
