What you can do is generate a starter bundle out of your repository (using "git bundle"), and serve this file via HTTP / FTP / BitTorrent, i.e. some resumable transport. Then you "git clone ", fix up configuration, and fetch the rest since bundle creation. Though this is possible only if it is your project... or can ask project administrator to provide bundle. --=20 Jakub Nar=EAbski
