I update the tarball a few times a year at http://ludios.net/mirror/ - see Twisted-checkout-README.txt for notes. If you do it yourself, keep in mind that git svn clone has to restart at r1 several times, for reasons I don't fully understand (due to partial SVN branches?). A few months back, a branch created by bzr with an svn:mergeinfo property caused it to restart at r1 again. This adds about 27 hours to the git svn clone time, unfortunately.
