Intermittent 404 when downloading from Github releases

Post by moonbat » 2026-08-04, 04:10

I click on some of the files in the assets section, here for example - and this is what shows up on the next page:

Code: Select all

Pale Moon can't find the file at https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset/226167620/2827d1ef-f109-4b13-a7e5-0c9ae3347e77?sp=r&sv=2018-11-09&spr=https&se=2026-08-04T04:46:56Z&rscd=attachment;+filename=bootloader_infinitime-1.16.1.hex&rsct=application/octet-stream&skoid=96c2d410-5711-43a1-aedd-ab1947aa7ab0&sktid=398a6654-997b-47e9-b12b-9515b896b4de&skt=2026-08-04T03:46:23Z&ske=2026-08-04T04:46:56Z&sks=b&skv=2018-11-09&sig=3zUPuIt2rH9nXHKH/QnSn1ErJWXLf5nKgO3xvLBjj4M=&jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJnaXRodWIuY29tIiwiYXVkIjoicmVsZWFzZS1hc3NldHMuZ2l0aHVidXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tIiwia2V5Ijoia2V5MSIsImV4cCI6MTc4NTgxNjYyMywibmJmIjoxNzg1ODE2MzIzLCJwYXRoIjoicmVsZWFzZWFzc2V0cHJvZHVjdGlvbi5ibG9iLmNvcmUud2luZG93cy5uZXQifQ.ObPdZMUN2PEsLJVt2R5cgLU-1D7739D6jWPhZOUAAeA&response-content-disposition=attachment; filename=bootloader_infinitime-1.16.1.hex&response-content-type=application/octet-stream.
In this case - I was able to download the infinitime-resources zip file, but not the other two. Nothing in the error console.

I'm able to download those other two files with Pale Moon just now. Maybe you are hitting some type of DNS issue? I don't get taken to a page, just get a download Save As prompt.

Works for me. I was able to download all the Asset files without issue.

Could be your ISP/connection, or just GitHub being GitHub..
