one workaround to install extension:

Finding the extension link

an example link: https://api.zed.dev/extensions/<EXTENSION_ID>/download

where to get EXTENSION_ID?

1. go to extensions
2. find the extension you want to install
3. on the right side you can see its button "Install" and the "Github icon"
4. click the Github icon so it'll go to the github page
5. open the extension.toml
6. look for the id, in this example:

id = "macos-classic"   <--- this ID
name = "macOS Classic Theme"
description = "A macOS native style theme, let it same like native app in macOS."
version = "0.0.8"
schema_version = 1
authors = ["Jason Lee <[email protected]>"]
repository = "https://github.com/huacnlee/zed-theme-macos-classic"

so the link will be: https://api.zed.dev/extensions/macos-classic/download

Download the extension using a disposable browser or another way

You can use vpn or any as long as you can download the said link

OR

Visit this site: https://sqrx.com, then click personal. In this step you can use e.g. Brave or Chrome (I think Firefox not supported on this site). From there you can download the link

Where to save the extension after downloading it

• Close Zed editor
• extract the archive.tar.gz file and rename the extracted folder according to the extension id
• copy the extracted folder on these path:
  • osx: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/extensions/installed/extracted_folder_name
  • ubuntu: ~/.local/share/zed/extensions/installed/extracted_folder_name

Then open Zed, check if installed. Lmk if this works.

Thanks, even though I had preceded you. It does work.

I'm going to go ahead and close this as unactionable.

For the moment we are using Digital Ocean Spaces (S3 compat) for storage of Extension artifacts. This service appears to be blocked by some networks (considered Malware). Perhaps we will migrate to another service at some point in the future in attempt to fix this, but convincing random network operators (mostly foreign) to stop using a block list of unknown origin is out of scope at this time.

If you or anyone has any leads about the source of these IP-block list, I would be happy to investigate further.

Thanks for reporting.
