I'm a little hesitant to post this, as I'm not completely sure what I'm doing. Any help would be wonderful.
I'm on a computer with a firewall/filter on it. I can download files without any difficulty. When I try to clone files from Github, though, the computer just hangs. Nothing happens. It creates a git file in the folder, but the key files don't get loaded in. For context, I'm working on a Rails app, trying to load in Restful Authentication.
Have any of you dealt with this? Any suggestions for getting the clone to work? Disabling the firewall might be an option, but if I can do something without going through that process, I'd appreciate it.

When trying to login to github over ssh you get this error if you are behind a firewall that block port 22. Luckily there is a solution for that: Smart HTTP. Basically it will use HTTP to pull and push updates to github, thus using the standard SSL (443) port instead of using the blocked SSH port (22).
Github supports cloning using both the git protocol over port 9418 and HTTP over port 80. Using the later is very slow (Reference). You should open port 9418 on your firewall or use HTTP cloning otherwise.

Or... just change the "git://" prefix to "http://"
