title: How do I clone a large Git repository on an unreliable connection?
body: <p>I want to clone LibreOffice. From the official website, this is what's written:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>All our source code is hosted in git:</p>
  <p>Clone: <code>$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core</code> # (browse)</p>
  <p>Clone (http): <code>$ git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/core.git</code> # slower</p>
  <p>Tarballs: <code>http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/</code></p>
  <p>please find the latest versions (usually near the bottom)</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>now, when I write this command in git bash to clone, it starts fetching. But the repository is so big that after hours I lose connectivity for a few seconds, it rolls back the download, and I get nothing.</p>
  <p>Is there any way I can download the repository smoothly even if interruptions occur?</p>
  <p>P.S. I am a new user of Git and I use a 1 MB DSL internet connection. The repository must be over 1 GB.</p>
