Ask HN: Is NPM having connectivity issues?

Yesterday there was an NPM issue which yielded 404 error messages [0].

However, `npm install` commands are taking too long (i.e. 10+ minutes instead of the usual 2-3 minutes for a given package.json file). The problem doesn't seem to be generalised: my computer located in Spain installs npm dependencies normally (no delay noticed) but on the Codeship pipelines for some of my projects are yielding timeouts due to the `npm install` command taking more than 10 minutes.

There are some issues opened on Github such as [1], but no official response yet.

Have you noticed this kind of problems during the last hours?
