Transient network problem? These files download correctly for me, using stand-alone curl command. Also I can view the directory listing straight from the curl base link that you showed above. Please try again.

It says:

502 Proxy Error

Is this a proxy server on your end? If so, is it configured correctly?

Peter replied by email:

This is not the only error. Also in office and on another mac computer using another network I get similar errors. See this, which occured at my work office just now when trying to upgrade outdated:

Normally things go smoothly, but this is the first time I get such errors. I don’t think the proxy error is related to the network at my end.

Peter, we agree; we think the cph.dk mirror has corrupted data. See #60799. We have removed that mirror from the list until that can be fixed.

Hi Guys,

First off, - sorry for the trouble with the mirror!

I've had a look at the system, and it's the frontend proxy causing these issues.

It's been disabled, and traffic diverted around it.

I am unable to reproduce error now. Could you please recheck?

Kind regards

Thanks Mikael. The curl and harfbuzz-icu packages that were problematic before seem OK now. I'll reinstate the mirror and hopefully the users who reported the issue can confirm the fix as well.

Reinstate cph.dk mirror

See: #60797

No further reports of issues, so I'm closing this.
