title: Cannot download Node packages using npm and shell
body: <p>I installed Node 0.10.12 on Windows 7 using msi installer</p>
  
  <p>Before this, I installed python 2.7 and gmake - all of which installed succesfully.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I'm typing</p>
  
  <pre><code>"$ sudo npm install -g sax" to download the sax package and nothing is happening. All I get is "...". Just 3 dots.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this means that downloading is in progress or is something wrong? I guess something is wrong, since I see those dots for 30 minutes and still nothing. I just dont get it. </p>
  
  <p>Also, in the book I read about node, says "/usr/local/lib/node_modules" for the modules folders, but I found the default modules here "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules". Is that wrong? Does it mean something went wrong on the installation?</p>
