When encountering an unsupported protocol, there's no need to retry.
Chances are, it won't suddenly be supported between retry attempts;
error instead. Otherwise, you see something like the following:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 335 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 604 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 1340 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 2685 ms
With this change, you now see:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
error: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1)

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at https://nixos.org/nix/manual.
