By the download speed, it might take a few hours before I can plot something.
It also seems that just doing "git clone JuliaRegistries/General.git" is much faster than doing "] add Plots"
I have heard it is to do with how windows antivirus works. Since the registry is like 10,000 seperate files. It chokes on them.
I have heard there is an upcoming feature to allow the package manager to work with the registry being kept inside a tarball, which is specifically being added to deal with this
I gave up because it's just too slow (more than 15 min to get to 3%).
Maybe plotting is indeed faster, but I don't think I'll actually get to that point.
Problem disappeared.
