`nuxi init` fails with `Failed to download template from registry: fetch failed`

[Busayor2020]

Environment

This has been a consistent problem, and I have tried various solutions, including updating npm to the latest version and forcefully cleaning the npm cache. Unfortunately, the issue persists.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Run the command: npx nuxi@latest init threads-clone.

Expected Behavior: I expect the Nuxt project initialization to proceed without errors and the template to be downloaded successfully.

Actual Behavior: The process fails with the error mentioned above.

C:\Users\HP>npx nuxi@latest init threads-clone   ERROR  Error: Failed to download template from registry: fetch failed

Environment Information:

• Operating System: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
• Node.js Version: C:\Users\HP> node -v v20.9.0
• npm Version: C:\Users\HP> npm -v 10.2.3

Additional Context: I have researched similar issues on the Nuxt GitHub page and have attempted solutions suggested in the documentation and community discussions. However, the problem persists.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on resolving this issue. Thank you for your time and support.
