Resuming "git clone" is not currently possible in Git, and it would be
difficult to add such feature to Git; there were several attempts and
neither succeeded.

What you can do is generate a starter bundle out of your repository
(using "git bundle"), and serve this file via HTTP / FTP / BitTorrent,
i.e. some resumable transport.  Then you "git clone <bundle file>",
fix up configuration, and fetch the rest since bundle creation.

Though this is possible only if it is your project... or can ask
project administrator to provide bundle.
