# The remote repo

For some reason, `git fetch` from http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/ikimailbox.git/ didn't work very smoothly for me: it hung, and I had to restart it 3 times before the download was complete.

I'm writing this just to let you know that there might be some problems with such connections to your http-server. --Ivan Z.
