bootstrap offers cloning mozilla-unified
if it fails, it's most likely because of network issue (instability, maybe because of WiFi, or just bandwidth),
and it's likely that doing hg clone or hg pull again will fail again with the same reason.

it should be better providing a reference to mercurial bundle.
(it's frequent to see newcomers bumps into this issue)

hg pull from an empty hg repository, which is what bootstrap is doing, already uses the mercurial bundle, though...

This feels like something that should be filed against mercurial itself.

Yes, the problem is about the mercurial's network's robustness against network issue I think,
and quick workaround is to use better downloader.
