Yes, very likely. But, I don't want to debug the network issue. :)
(I'm using Windows XP, which could be relevant, but more likely it's a
problem with my proxy or some other network configuration issue.) I
can try again from home later on.

Thanks! Well, of course the URL (which, by the way, turned into:
https://github.com/technomancy/clojure-mode
..., redirected from the URL you supplied), with perhaps an
explanation of the four files, specifically clojure-test-mode.el. I'm
not sure, there is a delicate balance between writing enough for
beginners to follow, and being brief enough to not bore/annoy
experienced users. I would prefer to err on the case of too much
information, particularly since I suspect that emacs is the best way
to edit Clojure files. So, I would include info about using -*- in
the .clj file and how to modify the auto-mode-alist and enable or
disable fontifying the buffer.
I could take a swipe at writing something up if you like.
