Git Clone is too slow

Question

This is my first time to construct the git server. When I use TortoiseGit-1.8.1.0-32bit to handle the operation, everything is fine!

But if i use the git clone

Answer 1

If you, like me, have configured TortoiseGit to use Putty's plink to connect (and use pageant, etc...), this might help you:

Try enabling in Putty (Default Settings) the following settings:

1. SSH -> Auth: "Allow agent forwarding" (I believe this is the one that changes "everything")
2. SSH -> "Enable Compression"
3. Session -> Select "Default Settings" -> Save

For me, this resulted in going from 143.00 KiB/s to 4.50 MiB/s

Hope this helps.
