Hi Jonas,

I have noticed the same while we had one of our regular RheinMain meetings. I then thought it might be the slow connection of the meeting room but in general it's sometimes really slow.

I haven't found anything on server side. But I have no idea how the internet connection is shared between all services FSFE provides. 

I remember the initial checkout for git fsfe-website took over 4 hours. Well that's my assumption as I left my pc after two hours and it was unchanged slow at 10-200 kilobit/s.

Maybe we should add it to the list of To-do tasks for the fsfe community meeting. Johannes and myself plan to attend.

Kind regards
Thomas
