Exception error while installing tensorflow on my windows

Question

I am actively trying to get into machine learning, but while i was trying to install tensor flow on my system it kept giving me errors. I am using python 3.7.3 64bit for windows. I have tried different means to install it with no progress. This is the error below,help will be appreciated

ERROR: Exception:

As mentioned in this Question. pip has an default timeout of 15 sec. When trying to install a big file (especially when using slow wifi), this may not be enough.. To fix this just set pip to take longer (for example 1000 sec).

pip install --default-timeout=1000 install tensorflow

Something went wrong when trying to download a certain file (for chunk in download.chunks: gives the hint). In short, you have internet issues. Could be a lot.
