Pkg: Some registries failed to update: and Operation too slow

Tooling Package Management

I was trying to update my packages in the REPL and was having the
download of the General registry fail with an error that the data rate
was too slow (less than 1 byte per 20 seconds).

Here is a session in the pkg mode of the REPL:

(jl_Axl0Ij) pkg> activate --temp
Activating new project at C:\Users\XX\AppData\Local\Temp\1\jl_h92qjY
(jl_h92qjY) pkg> registry up General
Updating registry at C:\Software\dot_julia\registries\General.toml
┌ Error: Some registries failed to update:

I was able to find the following in the discourse forum that indicate that the origin
of the failure is happening in LibCURL called from Downloads:

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/downloads-download-error-operation-too-slow-less-than-1-bytes-sec-transferred/80027

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/unable-to-automatically-download-install-artifact-ghostscript-from-sources-listed-in-julia-artifects-toml/98901

and

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-artifact-download-problem-how-to-tell-julia-to-follow-301-redirected-downloads/82003

Following the answer in the last post, I ran the following code in the REPL before
switching to pkg mode (the code has been updated and tested with julia 1.10.9:

using Downloads, Downloads.Curl
Downloads.EASY_HOOK[] = (easy, info) -> begin
    # Disable LibCURL's low speed timeout
    Curl.setopt(easy, Curl.CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME, 0)
end

I hope this is helpful to someone. -chm
