Can some one help me to get rid of following:

vijay13@ubuntu:~$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-mediacenter

Cloning into 'plasma-mediacenter'...

fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

And

vijay13@ubuntu:~$ git clone [email protected]:plasma-mediacenter

Cloning into 'plasma-mediacenter'...

Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How to get rid of both above issues?

If internet connection is also fine, just run 

git gc

and try again. It cleans up unnecessary files and optimize the local repository. For more details: git documentation
