Error while downloading source code of android

Question

I am using fedora 25, and using the following commands to download android gingerbread.

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-2.3.7_r1
repo sync -c -j4

After typing it (after almost 24hours, download of size 13G),

I get:

Fetching projects:  97% (166/171)  Fetching project platform/external/neven
Fetching project platform/external/dnsmasq

^Cerror: Cannot fetch platform/frameworks/base MiB | 118.00 KiB/s

That error keeps repeating. I read about it on the internet and it says, that I need to generate RSA keys and then copy that to GitHub account. How am I supposed to do that.

Also please explain the meaning of those errors especially

remote: Sending approximately 2.15 GiB ...  

Is it downloading or uploading?

Answer 1

I finally did it. This is not a technical solution, but the thing that i did different from past three-four attempts is that I kept the system active(not in sleep mode, as it goes off after a certain period of idle interaction) at

Receiving objects: 99% (2024331/2029012), 2.10 GiB | 119.00 KiB/s

At 98 or 99 percent download make sure that os doesn't go sleep mode.
