I was working with docker-mender-convert and I realized that at stage 8/9 it seemed to be froze. I waited, but eventually got curious, and consoled into the docker container. There were a bunch of git processes, and I wondered if one of them was blocked. I tried this command manually while in the container, and I was getting 1kb a sec download: git clone [https://github.com/mendersoftware/uboot-mender.git](https://github.com/mendersoftware/uboot-mender.git) -b mender-rpi-2018.07 Outside of the container, it is really fast. I even went as far as testing the general network speed inside of the container with speedtest.py, and it almost maxed out my connection. ([https://askubuntu.com/questions/104755/how-to-check-internet-speed-via-terminal](https://askubuntu.com/questions/104755/how-to-check-internet-speed-via-terminal)) I run the command on the server that is hosting the docker containers, and the git clone runs great. I will be mender-converting for a while over the next week, so I would like to try and figure out what is going on. Any help? ---

Github has been having quite a lot of issues this week, you might just have been unlucky. I think it’s back to normal now, so I would retry just to be sure.
