Running famouse create fails with ETIMEDOUT

[evil-shrike]

I've installed famous-cli and trying to create a project. It fails. I'm behind a http proxy. But npm works fine.
I tried to set http_proxy environment variable with no luck.

C:\>npm install -g famous-cli
C:\>famous -v
0.5.2

C:\>famous create test
events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
