After debugging this, the cause is I'm getting ETIMEDOUT for some plugins. So, we need to handle this case and retry maybe.

Why close this? It's still a valid issue.

@XhmikosR hm I thought the lists generates fine ? looking at http://gruntjs.com/plugins

[XhmikosR]

Well, it does generate but many plugins should be missing due to this error.
