</div> that's correct.  20 minutes downloading 1.2+ gbytes without any<br>
messages because it's HTTP is perfectly normal.<br>
<br>
 you can check progress by doing "du" in the linux/.git directory -<br>
you'll see there's some HUGE files being created.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's just the thing, I did that, and there wasn't even a linux directory, even after 45 minutes. At that point (after the du) I I killed it and cloned it the other way (ie git://<a href="http://github.com/linux-sunxi....">github.com/linux-sunxi....</a>.) and it worked fine.</div>
