Same here with several other packages (tini, python, make). Seems like an issue with the CDN?

[cilindrox]

This seems to be a dupe of #386

[ncopa]

we have replaced the dl-cdn backend to something we believe will be more stable. We have in addition also configure a failover that will take over if backend is unavailable.

[jovanimp]
