Github is refusing connection from your host [I cannot say exactly as why, but your network might be refusing traffic on port git's port for some reason]. You can try with https instead of git:// . also check if github is really refusing connections by telnetting into those other ports .
I tried from 3 different hosts at my end and all of them seem to be able to clone fine without any problems.
