[Cramer, Michael]

Thanks Brian

Seems there is a proxy rule blocking the download...  When I tried downloading it on my Linux box, it worked fine.  When I tried the same thing on windows I get a warning that the I might be breaking the rules, but I can say "continue" and it downloads the file.

I presume I can get around all this by putting all the zst files in a folder and then tell setup to look in the folder for packages to install...

Thanks for your help!

Mike

Thanks Mike,

Are all the failed downloads .tar.zst?

This could be a web proxy rule blocking unknown tar suffixes.

Are you running 11 24h2 and could this be your issue?

Sounds like you need to work with your corp IT to deal with this.
