As @AMoo-Miki suggested, we could consider using mirror server

The benefit of using a mirror server is that it can sometimes provide a more stable or faster download experience if the main server is experiencing issues or high traffic. It can also help when the main server has some temporary or permanent issues with hosting specific files.
