I believe hg.python.org is on a different machine than python.org. It 
has occasionally been down, but works fine with Firefox. Sometimes 
connections fail even if both endpoints are working. If you have a 
particular persistent problem with hg.python.org, I suggest talking to 
your ISP.

Cloning the CPython repository may take an hour or two if that is what 
you are trying to do.
