Usually downloading packages has been pain over corporate networks. One way is to switch to personal network now and then to download packages.
Here is a work around for this, use any proxy server providing your credentials. But thing is everytime I change my password I break my head to finally realize the packages are not downloading because of the old credentials in the proxy settings. This is how I get around this, usingFiddler.

Once you have downloaded fiddler, open fiddler and then under rules menu checkAutomatically Authenticate

.

For NPM

Set using following commands

npm configsetproxy http://localhost:8888/npm configsethttps-proxy http://localhost:8888/

OR

do this manually, openC:\Users\<user name>\.npmrc and set proxy to the port fiddler is running on like below

proxy=http://localhost:8888/https-proxy=http://localhost:8888/strict-ssl=false

strict-ssl is set to false to ignore certificate validation, Use this with caution there are a lot packages that are malicious.
now trynpm -i <packagename>

For MAVEN

OpenC:\Users\<user name>\.m2\settings.xml and add this follwing section insettings node

<proxies><proxy><id>optional</id><active>true</active><protocol>http</protocol><host>localhost</host><port>8888</port><nonProxyHosts></nonProxyHosts></proxy><proxy><id>optional</id><active>true</active><protocol>https</protocol><host>localhost</host><port>8888</port><nonProxyHosts></nonProxyHosts></proxy></proxies>

For GRADLE

Add this below properties in root folder ofgradle.properties

systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1systemProp.http.proxyPort=8888systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1systemProp.https.proxyPort=8888

Hope this Helps!
