Solve problems encountered when downloading Android source code

This article solves the problem of downloading Android source code from machines with public IP addresses (limited Internet IP addresses, which often occur in the company's network environment or virtual machines.
Note: This article only addresses the problems encountered when downloading the source code from android.googlesource.com. due to factors such as network and subsequent Android source code maintenance and upgrade, it is time-sensitive and cannot guarantee that it will take effect in the future.

During the May Day holiday, you need to download all android 4.0 and Android from your home network. However, the operation has encountered problems.
Android code was previously managed in Linux kernel (android.git.kernel.org). After being kicked out by Kernel, Android source code is now directly managed by Google (android.googlesource.com.

This error is inexplicable. Python is correctly installed and the version is required. In fact, the official website (http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html) has a paragraph description, if seriously executed can solve.
1. log on to https://android.googlesource.com/new-passwordin the browser and use the gmailaccount number to renew it;
2. Click "Allow access" on the webpage to obtain the following information:
[Plain]
1. machine android.googlesource.com login git-<userName> .gmail.com password <password>
2. machine android-review.googlesource.com login git-<userName> .gmail.com password <password>
 
.
3. append the above information (<userName> and <password> with your own real information) ~ /. The End Of The netrc file;
4. The URI is changed to the https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest ('/A' is added in the middle ").
Then follow the normal steps described on the official website to pull down the Android source code.

The official statement is: Because access is basically anonymous, in order to prevent too many connections, the number of connections to the same IP address is limited. It seems to be using a gmail account for authentication.
In this case, you will often encounter this problem when downloading from the company network or using virtual machines.
