I am using a corporate laptop with mcafee client proxy and mcafee DLP endpoint agent. I am getting a timeout error while trying to add packages. I had similiar issue in python while downloading large packages with conda, which I solved by increasing the time out seconds in settings (.condarc) in conda. Can anyone help me with how to increase low speed time out in julia, or any other solution to this error.  
error is shown below

(@v1.10) pkg\> add Lux  
Installing known registries into `C:\Users\Anandhu.Suresh\.julia`

when I open the mentioned website in chrome it starts downloading after 5 minutes. So I think if I can increase timeout then I could solve this issue.

Hi, I think I might be hitting some timeout. Concretely, trying to install a certain package (it’s a bit large, ~200mb), gives:

```julia
error: RPC failed; curl 92 HTTP/2 stream 7 was not closed cleanly: CANCEL (err 8)
error: 1817 bytes of body are still expected
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: early EOF
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

```

Did you figure out if there was a way to increase the timeout setting?
