<p>I'm a little hesitant to post this, as I'm not completely sure what I'm doing. Any help would be wonderful.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

The
```
git://
```
protocol uses port 9418, so you should make sure your firewall allows outbound connections to this port.
