It could be your having an issue with your certificates. Sometimes if you get this behavior there is an error in the certificate chain.
Try npm set strict-ssl false to see if this resolves your issue. Just remember if you do this you have disabled some of the security ssl gives you.

In my case it was a regresion in npm v7.x related to dependencies pointing to specific gitlab url:
"devDependencies": {
"npm-seven-issue-dep": "git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue-dep#5f1b313978986974d4364585e6bd3689276f1697"
}
Here is the bug report.
From what I observe, this freeze takes around 60 seconds (some network timeout perhaps) then installation finishes successfully.

Updating my npm using npm install -g npm@latest solved the issue.
