Subject: Download of file reproducebly fails at around 60%

The server doesn't fully deliver the following public file:
http://github.com/slyon/today.git/objects/pack/pack-2af6161f3bf3d03...
It does download at full speed up to 2.9MBytes (of 4.4MBytes) and then totally stall.

This causes wget to continuously repeat download of up to 60% of the file without ever getting it all and causes unecessary traffic on github.

Other download programs as mozilla and kget fail in the same manner.

    Why are you downloading packs directly? I have no issues cloning the repo over http, which grabs that pack file, and downloading directly in Safari works fine as well...

    Openembedded of SHR-Project [1] tries to download the pack
    during build and fails. I just used wget and others to verify,
    that it's a server issue.

     From your message I couldn't tell whether you where able to
    reproduce the exact problem or whether it worked for you.

    I will try to fix my build environment by cloning. But note
    that I'm not a developer of shr-project and so others may hit
    the same issue soon.

    I just tried a git clone and that fails with
    the same error message as shr build does. I
    attached the log file.

    worked fine. So it seems to be a network
    issue.
