Slow Clone from HG Repo In Bitbucket

[Darren Beckwith]

Hi, I'm new to Bitbucket and I want to use it to replace our local Rhodecode instance.

My initial tests worked well but now I am experiencing very slow clones over HTTPS and SSH to my windows machine. The HG repos aren't large (in my opinion) and I only have my local clone speed to compare against.

I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot this.

Thanks!

So do I.

HG CLONE over https takes just 20 seconds. HG CLONE over ssh takes about 5-6 minutes.

But with the "uncompressed" option, it takes 30-40 seconds.

I use the latest TortoiseHG on Windows 8. My SSH program is the TortoisePlink.exe.

Bitbucket seems to be quite slow compared to other available service. Probably not a technical issue.

Hello everyone, just restart all your network devices like your modems, routers, hotspots and whatever you are using to get connected to internet. 

This worked for me.

I was also facing the same issue, everything else was getting good speed except bitbucket, but it is solved when I restarted my mobile (I was using mobile's internet using hotspot)

There are no wide spread reports and when you say they aren't large, are they well under 1GB? If not you will want to review this:

Jason,

Thanks for the reply. The repos I'm trying to clone are in the range of 90MB to 200MB. The part that is slow seems to be the file chunk download according to TortoiseHG. I'm doing this from the company I work for which has a 50mbs pipe up and down. I am trying the secpnd link you suggested and using the -U switch. Is there any other way to debug this. My local clones (internal) servers are quite fast.

For example I just started a clone at 11:19AM PST

From TortoiseHG Clone

% hg clone --noupdate --verbose -- https://darrenbeckwith@bitbucket.org/carmanahtechnologies/a704-h "C:\dbeckwith\temp\bar"
