Why does `npm create cloudflare svelte-app -- --framework=svelte` take forever on my system?

First, it's downloading the package or something, then it's checking for updates, even though it JUST downloaded a fresh copy, and then each step seems to take forever. "╭ Create an application with Cloudflare Step 1 of 3" — Sometimes doesn't take input! It's just like "╰ Continue with Svelte via npx create-svelte@5.3.3 svelte-app" — but I press enter, y anything, it just won't work And then "╭ Configuring your application for Cloudflare Step 2 of 3" just crashed on me! And there's no way to --continue or anything. Running the command again takes forever, and then there are other issues, and ... I really hoped I can kick off a quick SvelteKit project on Cloudflare, man! I really believed it would be super easy. Come on!

Apologies for the whiny tone in the original post. I'm wondering whether it might be something on my end that I could improve — maybe it's the system? The network? Has anybody else tried the tool? Experienced similar issues? How can I test?
