For me is npm install extremely slow. I'm using Windows 8.1 with the latest npm version. My connection speed is around 100Mbit/s.
The project I'm trying to install has around 20 packages/dependencies and it takes around 30 Minutes to install all dependencies ...
Does anyone have a clue?

It seems like npm do not deal well with internet connections and can sometimes end in such situation. 1) I'll advice you to check if your firewall or antivirus is not performing any scan or filtering which may slow down npm install. 2) You may also use caching from npm like below.
If you find that npm is running slow and it isn't your computer or internet, it is most likely because of a severely outdated version.
it takes ~5 minutes to download and install.
I ran into the same problem, using --verbose as peterh mentioned showed me the source of the problem: I am behind a proxy, which uses its own certificates for https-connections. According to user "Mletter1" on https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8872 the issue is quite easily solved by using http:
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ --global And voilà, it's fast again. Of course you should only do this, if you're ok with cleartext npm infos over the net ;-)
