Installation dependency is very slow in china for the first time

[yiliang114]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: c4a609f
• OS Version: ubuntu 18.04 x64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Buy a new Ubuntu server, both my area and the server area I purchased are China.
2. Initialize the machine environment, install git, node and yarn.
3. Clone VS Code OSS source code, git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode.git --depth=1.
4. Install C++ dependencies needed to build, Otherwise, dependency build error will occur such as @vscode/ripgrep. apt-get install -y libxkbfile-dev pkg-config libsecret-1-dev libxss1 dbus xvfb libgtk-3-0 libgbm1
5. Use yarn to install dependencies. cd vscode && yarn
6. Process stuck in Building fresh packages... step

The reason I think should be the network reason. I have tried several ways locally:

1. Use registry within my private company, I add registry=https://registry.npm.xxxx.com to .yarnrc
2. Delete yarn.lock and then reinstall dependencies to automatically recreate a new yarn.lock which all dependencies resolved are started with my private company registry.

But it didn't work, the installation dependency will still be stuck in that Building fresh packages... step.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.75.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!
