`ipfs-npm update-registry-index` taking days on first run

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to get started with ipfs-npm, but I left ipfs-npm update-registry-index running since yesterday and so far it has downloaded less than 60 MB. Is this happening to anyone else or just me?

Is there an alternative source I can download from?

Btw, as someone who wants to see ipfs grow, I think publishing https://github.com/ipfs/blog/pull/215 before making sure the first experience is fast and pleasant might do more harm than good.

I’m putting a fix together for this. The problem is that the MFS cp command assumes too much of the DAG is in the local repo when doing this sort of operation.

FWIW ipfs-npm update-registry-index is not necessary to start using ipfs-npm, all you should need to do is run ipfs-npm install in your project and away you go.
