I just want to say that I second both points. Cloning from anonhg failed for me with a short read, same as for you, some time near the end of the download. Cloning from the developer-only master repo worked and took several hours, on an i7 with fast local SSD and 10-gigabit internet. That said, now that I have the tree, I am happy with how fast "hg pull" is (though for some reason, you also have to "hg checkout" after it) and how quickly you can switch branches, e.g. from -9 to current. -- Benny
