Hi Gregory,

this is strange behavior. VPS for hosting mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org is 
on a 300 Mbps bandwidth. Therefore, I do not suppose there should be a 
problem with the speed of this server.

Please, can you check what the urls for the submodules are in 
tde/.git/config? Are these urls correctly replaced to 
mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org or stay referenced to the 
scm.trinitydesktop.org (master server)?

Cheers
