I am trying to download qt repository from gitorious but the "git clone
https//:...." returns connection timed after a lengthy response time. So i
tried the other option of downloading using "git clone
git//:git.gitorious..." but again this returns connection refused. Anyways
i assume the reason the https connection is breaking is because the qt
repo. is large file(s) and the slow transfer rate of https is causing the
connection to break in between and therefore i am losing the whole repo.
But the reason why git connection is being refused is what i am not able to
make any theories about. Doing a nmap check tells me the port 22 of
gitorious.org is close, which i think is important for establing git
connection. So that may be the problem ( well after all  i do have a
theory).
 Finally i have to download this repository , i dont care if its https or
git. It will be grateful if someone could help me with it.
Thanks in advance.
