On a fresh server, this seems to work just fine (here in EU at least) and that's the same URL I use for fetching daily from ports tree. > git clone -v https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git /tmp/ports Cloning into '/tmp/ports'... POST git-upload-pack (175 bytes) POST git-upload-pack (gzip 7002 to 3523 bytes) remote: Enumerating objects: 6084351, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (936/936), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (120/120), done. ^C=E2=8F=8E =20 So I'm guessing either temporary glitch, or your local mirror isn't happy? re-try with: env GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=3D1 GIT_TRACE=3D1 git clone -v \ https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git /usr/ports and report back anything interesting. NB I think the internal git url is https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports.git (a= t least I need that to commit & push my changes back via ssh), but the one you use= d seems entirely legit to me. A+ Dave
