Docker hangs while pulling

I am trying to run docker run docker/whalesay cowsay boo from the tutorial.

Here is the output I get:

Unable to find image 'docker/whalesay:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from docker/whalesay
e190868d63f8: Already exists
909cd34c6fd7: Already exists
0b9bfabab7c1: Already exists
a3ed95caeb02: Pulling fs layer
00bf65475aba: Already exists
c57b6bcc83e3: Already exists
8978f6879e2f: Waiting
8eed3712d2cf: Download complete

It has been 10 minutes but nothing shows up. Is it supposed to take that long?

I tried control+C and re-run the command, and restarting Docker Quickstart Terminal. It's still not solving the problem.

In my case it was not enough space on VM in Swarm.

Drain machine -> Stop/Start -> docker image/system prune -> Activate Machine

helped to fix the problem

You don't have to reinstall. Just restarting docker service should do

service docker restart

I had the same problem because of antivirus program. After I've disabled it (to disable it quickly, I just renamed McAfee installation directory and rebooted) - Docker finally was able to pull all layers.

I also was getting stuck on the "Pulling fs layer" when pulling images, and just want to add another reason it might be happening (this was what happened to me): I was connected to my corporate network and needed to set proxies; once I set the proxies, the image pull finished fine.
