I am having problems cloning a 2.1GB repo from googlesource

C:\Users\Aaron Gray\GitHub>git clone
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/chromium
Cloning into 'chromium'...
remote: Sending approximately 2.11 GiB ...
error: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly MiB | 2.74 MiB/s
fatal: RPC failed; curl 56 SSL read:
error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 10054
early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

I am repeatedly getting the same result on a 36MBit connection

Hoping for a soulution.

Regards,

Aaron

Nothing much that can be done with a flaky connection. What git does
support are so called bundle files. These basically contain history that
you can import. Such a bundle can be offered through a resumable
transport, such as http.

I'll send you a link to a bundle for the chromium project.
