If the git protocoll/port is blocked in your network (and only then), you could try following this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4891527/git-protocol-blocked-by-company-how-can-i-get-around-that

You could try this command:

git config --global url."http://".insteadOf git://

Which should add to your ~/.gitconfig:

[url "https://"]
   insteadOf = git://

However, this can also get you into trouble if you try to clone from a server that e.g. only offers git:// and https:// (not http://), so this is not a clean solution, but might still be okay for you.

If later you find out this causes more problems than it solves, just remove the added lines from your ~/.gitconfig
