I used to run a service which packed git repositories into bundles so people with unreliable connections could download the bundle over (resumable) http. This helped then to do the initial clone. This service is not running anymore. Is there any interest to resurrect it? Or did git solve the problem of resumable clones in the meantime? I do occasionally get emails asking why it is down. But I don't follow the community (mailing list, IRC) anymore so I don't know how often that problem comes up.

The services used to be hosted on bundler.caurea.org.
