Hi Team,  
I am not sure if it’s specific to me alone, but when i try clone the openelis repo. I takes more than expect and fail to clone.  
On the local copy i have on my other machine, when i to `git submodule update --init --recursive`. it still does not even clone the plugins module. I checked with other repositories and i clone my network is fast too.  
Is there a way to get this faster ?

Check network connectivity, that’s the main reason for me , as I also find such issues

ok thanks guys. sometimes i normally wonder if that’s normal.  
My internet is so fast at least 8mp/s download and over 20mp/s for upload. Yet cloning is insane.
