A small project to adapt to the current size of the fgdata repository. It is getting too large to clone. Attempts to clone fail more often than not. An alternative is to use a bittorent client such as transmission, qbittorrent, deluge, rasterbar etc. This will be developed first as a set of instructions, then as a script, then as a part of download_and_compile.sh | A small project to adapt to the current size of the fgdata repository.

What may be needed to support this effort is a process to create new bundles, rather than a continuing set of updates. | |||
We need to know more about how the bundles are created, and how and where they are stored. | |||
