Here's a temporary solution if you're still facing problems:

Nexxy has changed the topic to: npm is down. use `npm install <module> --registry http://165.225.128.50:8000` in the mean time. (thank mmalecki for the work-around)

This is pretty bad. I'd expect them to do some local caching exactly for that reason. Second comment: "I am also having the same issue when trying to push to heroku."

Yeah, I had the same problem. Not being able to have the same level of control in Heroku was... unfortunate. Even after temporary local fixes were resolved I still couldn't push my app. Hopefully we can all take this as a learning experience and figure out how to utilize npm without keeping it in the critical path!

looks like its not down but for some it requires a prefix of the package the registry

What npm is calling:

https://registry.npmjs.org/-/express-3.0.0rc2.tgz

what it requires to work:

https://registry.npmjs.org/express/-/express-3.0.0rc2.tgz

It may be package specific. I think packages have to $ npm -force publish again to get working.
