Hi all,

Some of the webkitpy dependencies hosted on files.pythonhosted.org are taking ridiculous amounts of time to be fetched/downloaded, which is resulting in long stalls after using WebKit tools that invoke the `autoinstalled` codepath if you do not have webkitpy dependencies already downloaded/installed.

Example:
➜ time pip install -i https://pypi.python.org/simple requests

It’s my understanding that letting the script hang for multiple minutes may allow you to eventually get the content requested.

Cheers,
