Error trying to clone the bitcoin git @~55%?

[jackg]

I keep getting this error when trying to clone the git repo.

I switched from running Alpine to U***** (don't make me write it) but it seill persisted:

Code:

Cloning into 'bitcoin'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 139345, done.
error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-9): Error decoding the received TLS packet.
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

It stopped at about 55% each time and gave an early EOF error, both are fresh installs of ubuntu.

The error should be probably with cloning the git and not with the client software. Have you tried increasing the size of  postbuffer? You can do that by typing the following in terminal

Code:

git config --global --edit

If the issue still persist, then some possible solutions might be

1. The error should be with the memory allocation for git by your PC. Try changing the memory allocation in the git config file.
2. Firewall may be blocking the cloning process . Disable the firewall few minutes and try cloning it again.
3. The bitcoin repo is too big, so try cloning them separately.
