Adding the haskell-stack mailing list, that's more focused than haskell@haskell.org. Just leaving this message on that mailing list in case someone in the future wonders where this conversation is moving to. Short answer: try adding the following to ~/.stack/config.yaml:
package-indices: - name: Hackage download-prefix: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hackage.fpcomplete.com/package/ http: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hackage.fpcomplete.com/00-index.tar.gz Longer answer: most likely it wasn't completely stalled, just going _very_ slowly. We've had some reports from users - usually depending on geography - of slow downloads of the cabal file Git repo. The snippet above will switch you into an HTTPS download, which may be faster.
