## Use a fast connection and an SSD!
This is a huge repository. Cloning it is easily a day-long affair, if not several.
The primary server (daleglass.dev) is hosted on a 1000 Mbps connection, but depending on where you are and how busy the server is, that speed may not be possible. Approximate download times:
* 10 Mbps: 5 days.
* 100 Mbps: 12 hours.
* 300 Mbps: 4 hours.
* 1000 Mbps: 1.2 hours.
Use a NVMe if you can.
This needs 1.3 TB of free space at a bare minimum. After you're done downloading around 530GB, git is going to check it out, taking ~600 GB more. Just checking it out will take at the very least an hour on a hard disk, probably several (8 hours according to one report)
If you don't have the space, my recommendation would be to buy a cheap 2 TB NVMe, put it into an enclosure, and connect it by USB C. That will save a whole lot of time and annoyance.
