While it is true that repo sync takes long long time to download the source onto your system, it is quite weird that you are still unable to download the complete source even by Thursday. repo sync can take long time for following reasons:
1) repo sync is enabled with lesser threads in the source manifesto.
2) your internet connection is way too slow.

I used to repo sync before but it's not take too long like this time.




How do I increase the threads in the source manifesto?


FYI, I do it on Ubuntu 12.0.4 which is on VMWare workstation 9. My PC's OS is Windows 8.1

ex. repo sync -j4

Hi,

I seem to be having the same problem too. I've been running repo sync for the android_4.1.1_r1 (JellyBean) branch for the last 10 days and have a 17.5 GB repository downloaded. Its still running and looks like it will go on for ever. Is there any way I can get a snapshot of the source code as I **do not** neet the bleeding edge latest source? I'm just trying out this code on a board for which I have an Android ICS port. Can anybody give pointers?

Thanks in advance,

Gautam

Have you tried 'repo sync -c'

The  -c flag says to download only the current branch which was set in 'repo init'
