fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

Question

Can some one help me to get rid of following:

vijay13@ubuntu:~$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-mediacenter

Cloning into 'plasma-mediacenter'...

fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

And

vijay13@ubuntu:~$ git clone [email protected]:plasma-mediacenter

Cloning into 'plasma-mediacenter'...

Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How to get rid of both above issues?

Answer 1

If internet connection is also fine, just run

git gc 

and try again. It cleans up unnecessary files and optimize the local repository. For more details: git documentation

Answer 2

I also have faced with this problem.

The problem is solved when i replace "git://" with "https://"

root@ubuntu:~# git clone git://github.com/osrg/ryu.git
Cloning into 'ryu'...
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

root@ubuntu:~# git clone https://github.com/osrg/ryu.git
