Error cloning very large git repo with SourceTree

I am trying to clone a very large (40GB or so) git project with SourceTree.

Some way through, I get the following error

FATAL ERROR: Server unexpectedly closed network connection
fatal: early EOF
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: index-pack failed

Some searching suggests that this is a memory limit related problem. Not the memory of my system or disk, but rather how much git can pull at a time?

This thread fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed offers a solution, however I don't know how to fix this with SourceTree.

Another thread suggested that I add those tags to my .gitconfig file. However, I don't have such a file because I am cloning a new project.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

For some reason, I just tried again, and it worked. I changed nothing between attempts. I don't know why, but just trying again was all it took =/
