Bzr pull does not work

Question

The branch I am trying to pull has a few files which are over 500 mb.

I noticed if I use bzr pull I am unable to download it.

I think the connection is getting a timeout. Is there a way I can keep the connection alive like set timeout = 30 secs or something like that?

The error is

Write failed: Broken pipehing revisions:Inserting stream:Estimate    
182361/182487                 
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and   
permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. 

Answer 1

A possible workaround : pull changes incrementally (retrieve changeset 100 by 100 for example).
This may help to avoid timeout.

bzr pull -r 100

Just change 100 number to whatever fit your needs, small increments are better !
