Git for windows - unable to clone repository

Question

When I attempt to clone a repository USING WINDOWS GIT (http://windows.github.com/) it consistently gets stuck on 9% complete. So all of the git specific files seem to be downloaded but the source itself is not.

I've tried updating the proxy settings within .gitconfig located at c:\users\username\.gitconfig to contain the proxy setting :

proxy=myproxy:myport

What could be causing this issue ?

I needed to set a system variable where

name = https_proxy and value = <proxy name>:<port number>

For more info see accepted anwser + comments for Getting git to work with a proxy server
