Because of this delay, <tt>git.code.sf.net</tt> hung up on us and closed the connection. This is absolutely ''not a problem:'' we can just rerun the <tt>download_and_compile.sh</tt> command with the same arguments as the first time. Since we answered <tt>yes</tt> to the ''Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?'' prompt, the fingerprint of <tt>git.code.sf.net</tt>'s key has been stored in <tt>~/.ssh/known_hosts</tt>, therefore we won't get this prompt anymore. But if some server claiming to be <tt>git.code.sf.net</tt> presents a host key that has a different fingerprint in the future, <tt>ssh</tt> will print a big fat warning that the server may belong to an attacker trying to impersonate <tt>git.code.sf.net</tt>. Therefore, this SSH host key verification is very useful to protect us from future attacks (which hopefully won't happen at all).
