# use the npm mirror:

npm set registry http://ec2-46-137-149-160.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com

# you can reset this later with npm set registry npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

# then use it normally:

npm install express

ah it is not found in your repository^^

failing to parse json from OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) w/ NPM 1.1.45

$ npm install

Same for me :

npm http GET http://ec2-46-137-149-160.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/grunt
npm http 200 http://ec2-46-137-149-160.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/grunt

You can use this mirror (which fetches the original content from registry.npmjs.org). All modules up to date:

npm set registry http://85.10.209.91/

To reset:
npm set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

Thanks @tbigueres!

Mirror closed, npm working again.

Hello

I'm also facing this issue very randomly while doing npm install using a docker file. Can this mirror be made available again, please?
