Cannot git clone android source code from remote server

Question

Firstly I

$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base
Cloning into 'base'...
remote: Sending approximately 1.04 GiB ...
remote: Counting objects: 43200, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (3713/3713)
remote: Getting sizes: 100% (1738/1738)
remote: Compressing objects:  99% (27152/27153)
Receiving objects:   4% (36212/787666), 16.81 MiB | 183 KiB/s

For a while, the git hung and didn't go ahead, So I break git and

$ git clone http://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base
Cloning into 'base'...
remote: Sending approximately 1.04 GiB ...
remote: Counting objects: 43200, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (3713/3713)
remote: Getting sizes: 100% (1738/1738)
remote: Compressing objects:  99% (27152/27153)
error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 20075 MiB | 186 KiB/s
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Now it failed as above, I tried several times and every time got same error as above.

How to resolve or workaround?

Answer 1

I've met the same problem when git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base . The "Receiving objects" progress was always shown as 4%.

Unfortunately, I can't get the answer about solving this problem. So I've changed the remote url to github:

git clone https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base.git

It works now without any problem.
