After the issue, I nuked the .julia folder, and now it is taking too long to clone the "JuliaRegistries/General.git" repo.

By the download speed, it might take a few hours before I can plot something.

It also seems that just doing "git clone JuliaRegistries/General.git" is much faster than doing "] add Plots"

Is this on Windows? I've experienced the same for the past few releases in Windows. For some reason that clone step is ridiculously slow.

Window registry issues have been a thing.

I have heard it is to do with how windows antivirus works. Since the registry is like 10,000 seperate files. It chokes on them.

I have heard there is an upcoming feature to allow the package manager to work with the registry being kept inside a tarball, which is specifically being added to deal with this

It's not an av issue, at least not on my machine.

I gave up because it's just too slow (more than 15 min to get to 3%).

Maybe plotting is indeed faster, but I don't think I'll actually get to that point.

Did you try a manual git clone to rule out any network or FS issues?

A manual git clone is very slow for the Julia registry, but it's still an order of magnitude faster...

Is your home folder on a network drive?

siproprioOP5y ago

Nope.

This is a Windows issue, I'm pretty sure. My solution is easy, install Julia under WSL. In fact, after moving from MacOS to Windows, this is my goto solution: install as much as I can under WSL.

Problem disappeared.
