[llvm-dev] OT: Cloning llvm repo over low speed connection != fun

[James Molloy via llvm-dev]

Hi,

No matter what we do, I hardly think it likely we can optimize the LLVM
clone speed for a 20KB/s connection. I agree that corporate internet
connections being gigantic pipes means we run the risk of forgetting what
home infrastructure looks like, but 20KBps is... around dial-up. Where are
you, rural Tibet?

Cheers,

James
