Npm requests stopped by home router - http

Question

Good day.
My machine runs on windows 7 32 bit. I've installed Node.jS via installer from nodejs.org.
When i try to do anything with NPM http request involved, it just stalls. No errors, just continues on and on forever.
With try and error I came to conclusion it is the fault of my home router. I tried setting up DMZ, port forwarding on :80 but nothing helps. Maybe the port is wrong, but i can't find which one to forward.
I don't use proxy and have dynamic ip.
this is how it goes:
C:\Users\By-the-ocean\Desktop\delme>npm install -ddd express
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm verb cli [ 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\\\node.exe',
npm verb cli 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js',
npm verb cli 'install',
npm verb cli '-ddd',
npm verb cli 'express' ]
npm info using npm#2.10.1
npm info using node#v0.12.4
npm verb install initial load of C:\Users\By-the-ocean\Desktop\delme\package.json

npm sill cache add type: 'range' }
npm sill addNamed express#*
npm verb addNamed "*" is a valid semver range for express
npm sill addNameRange { name: 'express', range: '*', hasData: false }
npm sill mapToRegistry name express
npm sill mapToRegistry using default registry

A bit more details:
I'm on plain windows laptop connected to internet via router.
The request comes from the same machine to NPM servers (both http and https versions have been tried)
There is no way for me to connect without router directly via cabel.
Windows firewall has been turned off completely. no firewall on router either.
