Peraphs it's time I dig a little bit deeper. Do you keep qgit.git/info/refs, qgit.git/objects/info/packs, and possibly qgit.git/objects/info/alternates up-to-date under http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/? Your server seems to give friendly "no such page" instead of usual 404 not found for nonexisting paths, which means that you would probably need to have an empty info/alternates file there, and if you do not have packs then empty info/packs files as well. Also I suspect once you start packing your repository the downloaders would have a hard time --- instead of getting "not found" as a cue to switch to fetching packs they would get the "friendly page" and mistakenly think the loose object stored in your repository is corrupt.
