Please stop being so disrespectful towards people who are trying to
help you. You are complaining about being throttled and if you really
are, then we would like to resolve that. Because we don't want normal
users to be throttled. We can give you some suggestions on how to
prevent that if you clearly explain which resources on sourceware.org
you are fetching.

You seem to be using the gitweb interface to fetching files or
diffs. If so, and because gitweb is known to be not very resource
efficient, you really should switch to using cgit.

But we are really speculating here. It isn't really clear what you are
doing and what issues you are seeing.

Offlist you said that you didn't really got throttled because of those
8 packages you have that are hosted on sourceware none of them need
many patches in the first place. So it isn't clear to me if we are
actually discussing a real issue or if you are just worried that you
could have an issue in theory.

Cheers,

Mark
