That is really odd. If you are using ssh then there shouldn't be any throtteling and you shouldn't really be affected by current http based ddos. It might be your local network? I just did a clean clone of the whole gcc.git which took ~8 minutes over http and ~5 minutes over ssh. So cloning/pulling over https is certainly slower, but you should get reasonable speeds over https. > Regarding your comment on using github for fetching (and keeping > gcc.gnu.org for push), the gcc website does not give a recommendation > on how to use that in practice.

I don't think anybody wants to recommend github for these things. https://giveupgithub.com Also those aren't under our control. If you really need a mirror then try the ones at https://forge.sourceware.org/ or https://git.sr.ht/~sourceware/ which we keep up to date. Cheers, Mark
