this is strange behavior. VPS for hosting mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org is on a 300 Mbps bandwidth. Therefore, I do not suppose there should be a problem with the speed of this server.
Hi Slávek,
I just ran git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde for a few minutes on three VPSs in data centers in Texas, California, and Washington State. In each case there was a high initial transfer rate around 35Mbps. After less than a minute transfer rate dropped drastically or even zeroed before bouncing around and finally settling near 200kbps.
When I tested transfers from Washington State to Texas I was able to sustain around 47Mbps. Transfers from the TDE UK mirror to Texas started around 170Mbps before bouncing around wildly but averaged 90Mbps over several minutes.
I doubt this is an artifact of disk caching. I suspect something is limiting mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org bandwidth despite the 300Mbps connection.
