`git` on code.qt.io slow?

I felt like fixing a thing in qtcreator and tried git clone https://code.qt.io/qt-creator/qt-creator.
It took over 2 hours to reach 13%. I thought there may be a problem with using https or maybe it was just a network thing, so I tried gi clone git://code.qt.io/qt-creator/qt-creator.git and it turned out to still be as slow.

While normally opening code.qt.io and using the cgit was pretty snappy, with git, I am getting an average download speed of 10KB/s.

• Is this how the server is normally configured?
• Is this only happening with me or do others have the same experience?
• Did I just get unlucky and try to download during the a maintenance day?

Similarly, git clone https://code.qt.io/qt-creator/perfparser was also as slow. Although it finished in under 10 minutes because it was a small project.
