Alternate git repo servers

Alternate git repo servers

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
     Are there any alternate git servers for the following repos, the existing one are very slow for me (at 20kbps), while I have an 8MBps downlink speed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luca/wl12xx.git

I just tried switching protocols from git to http, and http works with a 938KiB/s download rate, compared to 20KiB/s using the git protocol. 

Kinda of the opposite of what one would expect.

How did you do it? Just replaced git:// with http:// ?

Yes, just type 

git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git

Are you also experiencing slowness with the git protocol with the servers on git.kernel.org & gitorious.org. It has slowed down to a crawl to a point that it is completely un-usable. 

Ubuntu 10.04 tends to give EOF errors, while Mac OS X 10.6.4 tries to keep downloading at a low speed of around 20KiB/s, but doesn't terminate that easily. I've been experiencing this for over 2 days now, and it suddenly occurred that I should try an alternate protocol. I was expecting much less, but to my surprise, http protocol was working as fast as the native git protocol while downloading from these servers.

I had it some days ago with kernel.org, but I substituted the host part 
with some different hostname, I saw that other announed a minute ago 
with some git-pull request on LKML - and it worked, it could be pure luck.

Thanks,
