Git stuck while receiving objects

Question

A look of projects while downloading looks like this:

/usr/local/bin/git clone https://github.com/anyproject/project.git /var/folders/nc/fk4zxcg13w99jjkjfcv_1p3h0000gn/T/d20160909-5467-gcadxt --template= --single-branch --depth 1 --branch 1.7.0 --verbose
Cloning into '/var/folders/nc/fk4zxcg13w99jjkjfcv_1p3h0000gn/T/d20160909-5467-gcadxt'...
POST git-upload-pack (155 bytes)
POST git-upload-pack (164 bytes)
remote: Counting objects: 220, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (191/191), done.
Receiving objects:  52% (115/220), 8.94 MiB | 1.79 MiB/s   s

Why does Git hang? It can continue eventually! I'm using MacOS.

git version? firewall? anti virus software? try cloing via ssh, consider updating git. — Zarathustra, Sep 10 '16 at 06:26
In my experience the progress is by object count and is kind of suspended when a large object is being transferred. — Leon, Sep 10 '16 at 09:41
What do you mean by "It can continue eventually"? Does it just hang for a while and then continue? — Scott Weldon, Sep 12 '16 at 16:42
It hangs. Anyway i found the solution. Problem was about network connection. — Vyacheslav, Sep 12 '16 at 17:10

See this answer

VMware on NAT had this problem for me. Changing it to Bridged (replicate the state) fixed the issue.

After an hour of googling, this was the answer. Anyone have any idea why sharing the hosts IP (NAT mode) would cause git to bork? – hammus Apr 26 '18 at 23:17
