I am trying to clone a repository from Bitbucket into Sourcetree and it does not get past the

I am having the same issue on a 1GB+ repo - did you find anyway to 'speed' it up by any chance?

It's not uncommon for large repositories (over 1 GB) with long histories to take a very long time to clone.

How big is the repo you are cloning? How much bandwidth do you have?
