Out of curiosity, are you from russia?
Getting the same problem on Fedora 42.
Based in UK, tried both with and without VPN.
Same, based in Italy and on Fedora 42 as well as without vpn, have the same problem
It seems that this is caused by the network stalling for some reason. I wanted to see if a timeout could be added (there currently isn't one) and turns out that the lib we use has been deleted by now: https://www.npmjs.com/package/phin
It would be interesting to see how far it gets. Because it could well be blocked by a firewall for example, or simply never get any response from the network. Or perhaps DNS already fails. Someone who can reproduce, maybe take a look with wireshark or similar.
