Error Creating GIT Repo

I have tried this multiple times with the same result. COMMAND: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git OUTPUT: Cloning into 'linux-stable'... remote: Counting objects: 3359873, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (513049/513049), done. fatal: read error: Connection timed out), 189.03 MiB | 100 KiB/s fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed I have been receiving this error always. Is there some fault with my system or the server.
