Thanks for the idea! I tested it:

$ git -c http.version=HTTP/1.1 clone https://github.com/maliit/keyboard maliit-keyboard Cloning into 'maliit-keyboard'... remote: Enumerating objects: 23243, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (464/464), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (207/207), done. error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining error: 5361 bytes of body are still expected fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet fatal: early EOF fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Sadly, it seems like the error is only slightly different. It was still worth a try. I contacted GitHub support a while ago but it got stuck. If there were resume available such hiccups wouldn't matter, I hope that explains why I suggested that feature.

Regards,
Ellie
