Homebrew takes forever for most of packages

[gajzzs]

I don't know why but when I install some packages like opencv, ffmpeg, scrcpy and more. It takes a lot of time and download a lot of files but it doesn't complete.

Here is when tried to to install opencv:

 HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install opencv
