I'm not certain what network issue is causing this yet, however, you 
might be able to workaround this by tweaking some environment variables 
if you are using the cli:

PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT - integer value in seconds to wait before timing out
PKG_TIMEOUT_MAX - integer value representing the number of times to 
retry before failing
