The remote end hung up unexpectedly while git cloning

Question

My git client repeatedly fails with the following error after trying to clone the repository for some time.

What could be the issue here?

Answer 1

I have the same error while using BitBucket. What I did was remove https from the URL of my repo and set the URL using HTTP.

git remote set-url origin http://mj@bitbucket.org/mj/pt.git
