I will preface this post by saying that I doubt this could have anything to do with Pkg.jl or [julialang.org](http://julialang.org).
However, this is what I observe (numbers are seconds since start of build stage):
So it pulls 8 items and then waits ~60 seconds. JULIA\_NUM\_THREADS is 8 and [this section of Pkg.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/blob/e6399b722d2a30d117069abc7ae7e8839ec24be5/src/Operations.jl#L718) is asynchronous, so I interpret that there is something adding a 60 second delay to each request.
I am doing this from behind a firewall and there is basically unknown network infrastructure between me and the wider internet. Does anyone know what questions I should even be asking here?

1. What version of Julia are you running?
2. For ≥ 1.5, are you able to connect to [pkg.julialang.org](http://pkg.julialang.org)?

Julia 1.5.1
I am intermittently capable of [connecting to pkg.julialang.org’s hosting subdomains](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pkg-juilalang-org-unresponsive/47671/4).
```bash

I can ping [pkg.julialang.org](http://pkg.julialang.org) without problem.
Should I be setting something to trigger the “use only libgit2” path here?

You can do `export JULIA_PKG_SERVER=“”` to avoid using the package server but that may not be better depending on the situation.

It was way faster. Thanks!

In terms of profiling, I instantiated my project in ~2.5 minutes after `export JULIA_PKG_SERVER=""`, while it was taking me 30-60 minutes without it.
