  • But how can i fix this error ?

    503 is usually a server-side error, hard to say. I suppose it could be on your end, but maybe try accessing the download link in a web browser.

    I thought at one point they were whitelisting certain user agents, but I tried downloading it via wget and the speed is pretty slow (20KB/s). So assuming the whitelisting is gone, but there may be an issue with the server/network-path I am hitting.

  • ok, that explains everything. Finally I managed to download it via wget and install it afterwards. Thank you for your reply and good luck with fixing the problem.
