Laravel composer stops package download

Question

So, I tried every solution there is online..

Composer clearcache and every other command..

Every command seems to work within project except commands that contains

composer require or composer update command

that I use to install needed packages.

It just stops without any error..

What about trying:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel ads-site

then:

cd ads-site

followed by:

composer require kalnoy/nestedset

I was able to successfully run it in that order.
