Root Cause

Slow or unstable network, or a proxy throttling large wheel downloads.

generic

中文

网络缓慢或不稳定，或代理对大型 wheel 下载进行限速。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    pip install --timeout 120 --retries 5 foo
  2. 85% success 
    mkdir -p ~/.pip
cat > ~/.pip/pip.conf <<'EOF'
[global]
timeout = 120
retries = 5
EOF
pip install foo

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    Bypasses cache but does not address slow network; may worsen by re-downloading dependencies.

  2. 70% fail

    Same timeout will recur; retries waste bandwidth.
