title: package-refresh-contents hangs at Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:80
body: <p>I'm running Emacs 24.4 for Windows (installed through Chocolatey) and trying to install CIDER.</p>
  
  <p>When I run <code>M-x package-install [RET] cider [RET]</code>, I get <code>[No match]</code>. When I run <code>M-x package-refresh-contents [RET]</code>, it hangs on Contacting host: <code>elpa.gnu.org:80</code>.</p>
  
  <p><code>~/.emacs.d</code> is populated with the GitHub repo recommended by braveclojure.com (<a href="https://github.com/flyingmachine/emacs-for-clojure" rel="noreferrer">here</a>). I've reinstalled Emacs and I'm still getting the same problem.</p>
