title: Bower install - failed with ETIMEDOUT
body: <p>When I run <code>bower install</code>, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Request to <a href="https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery" rel="noreferrer">https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery</a> failed with
    ETIMEDOUT,
        retrying in 1.8s</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when I run the same URL in the address bar of Chrome, I get the json. I don't know why it fails when I do <code>bower install</code> using Windows 7 command shell. I suspect it has got something to do with my workplace's proxy settings.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone?</p>
