Attempted to clone the github repo using the following command: 

- git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/tinycompress.git

I got the following error: 
```
$ git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/tinycompress.git
Cloning into 'tinycompress'...
fatal: unable to connect to git.alsa-project.org:
git.alsa-project.org[0: 207.180.221.201]: errno=Unknown error
```
The git clone command appears to timeout
