Timed out waiting for contract to deploy

I am following the guide here https://docs.fuel.network/guides/quickstart/building-a-smart-contract/ but when it comes to deploying the contract to the test network it fails with the following error

Account 0 -- fuel13wv6ctgdc2vqff9qnmgg0gsfsrjdht7y3rjxlss8qw96tyz26tjq9tau5g:

Hi there!
Not sure what’s going on in your case.

I’ve tried the same using beta-4 toolchain and everything went smoothly.

Please try deactivating firewall or vpn.
