NPM提取失败

Question

Here's a quick one:

npm install socket.io

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/socket.io
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/socket.io
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/-/socket.io-0.9.10.tgz
npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/-/socket.io-0.9.10.tgz
npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/-/socket.io-0.9.10.tgz

what's wrong with this npm install? is the server unreachable? Any workaround?

Thanks in advance
