Git has no internal support for doing this. You would have to choke the TCP connection elsewhere. Look for QoS options in your operating system's network setup. I think I have also seen LD_PRELOAD libraries that will limit I/O, but I can't recall the name of any right now. -Peff ``` ## Daniel Stenberg, 2009-12-06 18:13 Subject: Re: Speedlimit at "git clone" Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.2.00.0912061912180.19656%40tvnag.unkk.fr In-Reply-To: <20091206144322.GB26440@coredump.intra.peff.net> ``` On Sun, 6 Dec 2009, Jeff King wrote: >>> how can i limit the download speed at "git clone"? >>> >> no one any idea? > > Git has no internal support for doing this. libcurl provides such a feature so if the clone is done over HTTP it would be easy to offer, but I figure it would also be weird to only provide it over a single particular transfer method... -- / daniel.haxx.se ``` ## Baz, 2009-12-07 11:15 Subject: Re: Speedlimit at "git clone" Message-ID: <2faad3050912070315y7f2bf99dpb2e1f61b55587fe6@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/2faad3050912070315y7f2bf99dpb2e1f61b55587fe6%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` 2009/12/6 Daniel Stenberg : > On Sun, 6 Dec 2009, Jeff King wrote: > >>>> how can i limit the download speed at "git clone"? >>>> >>> no one any idea? >> >> Git has no internal support for doing this. > > libcurl provides such a feature so if the clone is done over HTTP it would > be easy to offer, but I figure it would also be weird to only provide it > over a single particular transfer method... There is always 'trickle'. http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle I think this is the preload-based tool Peff was thinking of. I've not used it with git, but I have used it successfully limiting bandwidth for other downloads. -Baz > > -- > >  / daniel.haxx.se > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at  http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > ```
