Hi all,

I am using varscan somatic and i need to use the fpfilter for which I need read count from bam-readcount program.

When I am cloning the repository from github I get the following errors:

ashwini@ubuntu:~$ git clone --recursive http://github.com/genome/bam-readcount.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ashwini/bam-readcount/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 407 while accessing http://github.com/genome/bam-readcount.git/info/refs

I tried resolving proxy but still this error appears. Please help.

That seems odd. I just tried your same commands and had no problems. This sounds like a connectivity problem. Are you still having the same issue today?

GitHub has been hit by Denial of Service several attacks over the past week or two. It is likely related to that. Just try again at another time.

I have been trying since past few days but I'm still getting the same error. Is there another way to clone the repository?
