The bzr branch last slightly longer - and I do mean slightly. The
output shows bzr pull fails after 2kb and bzr branch after 9kb. So, in
reality, its about the same and very quick i.e. under 30 seconds for
both.

Actually, I might have confused things there. While bzr pull over an
existing copy obtained via bzr branch http:// failed, it would seem
bzr branch http:// is working (waiting to see if it finished before 1
hour or dies at the 1 hour mark!). As Martin pointed out, launchpad
uses http and not bzr, so its not a good comparison.

Looking more like a problem with bzr://, especailly if http:// from
savannah works.
