This is what I have seen after 1 hour. I tried cloning this repository with SSH but it was even slower.

Where are you cloning from? I don't think Wikimedia is hosting this. Looks like it's on Github.

Please provide specifics and why you think the slowness is not your connection.

Cloning the kiwix/apple repository took only 10 minutes through the Github Desktop client.

@ThesenatorO5-2 Are you reporting an issue with github? What is the URL you are cloning from? If it's github we are not the right place to report this.

I tried cloning with Github Desktop and SSH. The SSH URL is git@github.com:kiwix/kiwix-android.git.

@ThesenatorO5-2 We are Wikimedia, we are not running Github. To report an issue with github please see https://support.github.com/request

Thanks. Task closed as Resolved.

Thanks @ThesenatorO5-2. There is also https://www.kiwix.org/en/contact/ to get in touch with the Kiwix people. I would assume though that it's the same for you for any repository on github. You should first rule out it's a local problem by comparing to speed from a random git site that is not github.com. For example you can try a repo on gerrit.wikimedia.org.

I got this: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

random example:

git clone "https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/translatewiki"

Receiving objects: 100% (29614/29614), 4.42 MiB | 3.30 MiB/s, done.

ThesenatorO5-2 raised the priority of this task from Medium to High.

Also, the speed for cloning kiwix-android is still 10KiB/s, reopening task as high priority.

Re-closing because we can't do anything about github.com. That's a different organization. Sorry.

Although at some times, the speed is pretty fast.

I tried cloning it on a VPN and it is now fast. 20MiB/s. Maybe Github is censored in my place(China).

@ThesenatorO5-2: Both Github.com issues and Kiwix issues are not tracked in Phabricator. You are in the wrong place. For future reference, please always follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and never set the task priority field - thanks.
