The browser is timing out waiting for the server to send
something (anything). I would do 2 things:

1. Work on the making the clone process faster. (not easy)

2. Rework the interface to that status information is periodically
sent to the browser. This involves an occassional print (Or Mason
output) and flushing the buffer.
