bitbucket / git bash / ssh: Connection reset by peer

[Peter Albert]

I am using git bash on Windows 7. I have set-up an SSH key following this article, but the final step ( ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org ) ends with the error message "ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer". 

Any ideas what is going wrong?

For some weird reason i have been getting that error lately whenever i try to make a commit or ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org. Have you been able to solve it?

this is happening to me a lot at the moment. about one in three "git pull" or "git clone" commands is failing
