When trying to npm install this exact package.json, npm hangs and becomes totally unreponsive.

I tested this on different clients, both using npm version 3.10.6 and node v6.5.0. I'm pretty sure it worked some days ago, but now, it just refuses to complete. I tried npm cache clean, tried lowering maxsockets down to 1, waiting for 20-30 minutes and tried to remove packages from packages.json, but finding the culprit it's a hit and miss. For example, "mosca" alone makes npm hang, but even when removed from package.json, it still won't finish.
The last message I see it's:
[ .....] - extract:socketio-auth: sill doParallel extract 852
and then just nothing. It doesn't give any error, even when setting logging level to silly. It just hangs forever. I really don't understand and I'm pretty sure it was working some day ago. Can someone help me? Does this package.json work for you?
I already checked this,this and this, but I think it's not related to them.
