Deployment crashes with ETIMEDOUT

[Bobface]

Issue

Deployment crashes because of ETIMEDOUT when requesting the latest block using Infura as provider with a stable internet connection. This deployment was to Kovan but I suspect it would also happen when deploying to mainnet.

The same error also appears with a different message:

Steps to Reproduce

Hard to reproduce, does not happen everytime.

Expected Behavior

Do not crash the deployment but instead retry to fetch the latest block while printing a warning.
