I appreciate your response.  I have tried these.  I think the 
real issue is that I am not sure on the IP and port needed for 
the proxy here at work.  The company uses WPAD in the browser and 
I cannot figure out what the IP and port the browser is using to 
connect through the proxy.  If I knew that I probably could make 
it work.  It would be nice if GitHUB would change their Downlaod 
Zip button such that it does a recursive zip to include all the 
subfolders.
