Both server and client are running fossil [d0753799e4] 2010-11-01 14:23:35 UTC (Linux x86-64 version on server, Windows XP version on client).

Can you get a network trace e.g. with tcpdump of the connection?

I'm very sorry that this does not work for you.  However, it does work for
me, on both Linux and WinXP.  On WinXP (running under VMWare) see the result
of doing a clone in the attachment below.  For Linux, I get:

I do not have any idea what might be going wrong for you.  Please help us
by sending debugging info.  Add the --httptrace option to your clone
command and see what comes back.  Explain in detail your network configuration
and setup.  www.fossil-scm.org is now attempting to send a 20MB reply to
the first clone query, whereas www2.fossil-scm.org limits the first reply
to 5MB.  Might this larger reply be causing problems for your firewall?

I just lowered the reply-size limit on www.fossil-scm.org from 20MB to 4MB.
Please try again to clone from that site and report success or failure.

Actually it started working almost immediately after this:
<i>anonymous added on 2010-11-09 15:02:40</i>.

I'm using an ADSL router to connect to the Internet, I have no firewall, no AV software, no other active network interfaces. Also I have WinPCap installed but I don't think it can cause any problems.

As for [052de1d35b] I've sent you an email with --httptrace.
