large publicly accessible HTTP archive?

[Bryan Larsen <bryan@larsen.st>]

Hello,

I'm one of the maintainers of MacPorts git port.

A long time ago, we had problems pulling extremely large archives over 
HTTP on PowerPC machines.  By large, I mean on the order of 500 
megabytes: I was testing using an embedded Linux distribution.

We "fixed" the problem by turning off CURL_MULTI and ignored the 
problem.  Yes, bad form, I know.

Our problems were against curl 7.16.2.

However, in recent git's, CURL_MULTI is required to do an HTTP push, so 
we've had users complaining.

Curl is up to 7.19.0, they may have fixed our problem.  Unfortunately, 
the distribution I used for testing is gone now.  Putting up a local 
archive doesn't exhibit the problem either.

Is anybody aware of a very large HTTP accessible repository that 
wouldn't mind me doing a few test pulls from?  By large, I mean >500 
megabytes of network traffic for a single pull.

thanks,
Bryan
