When running yarn in a locked down network, I had the issue that running yarn install would output nothing for 10 minutes and then perform the install normally. There is no indication of what errors occured in the console, and there is no verbose output available to identify the problem. After using tcpdump to see what's going on I have found the culprit: Yarn is collecting telemetry!
This needs a way shorter timeout and console output on failure, maybe with a hint on how to disable it when it fails. Also yarn desperately needs verbose output, it's frustrating how much time I've lost due to lacking error messages.
To reproduce
Run yarn install in a network that can't connect to repo.yarnpkg.com
