Whenever I use "lein search", it always stalls while downloading the Maven index. Downloading the same file using my web browser (Google Chrome) works fine. It may simply be that the HTTP code in my web browser is more robust, in which case maybe it might be worth looking into improving the code that downloads the indexes considering how godawful repo1.maven.org is and has been. I think at the very least some kind of timeout would be an improvement because at the moment if the download stalls lein seems to hang forever.
