Describe the bug

I am unable to install dbt_utils package on my hardware. Multiple attempts to install the package, but spits out an error.

Environment

- OS: Windows 10
- Python: 3.12.3

Upon execution, returns error message as follows:

ConnectionError: External connection exception occurred: not a gzip file

Steps to reproduce

Add packages to packages.yml file
Run dbt deps
Observe error External connection exception occurred: not a gzip file

Expected results

dbt deps command should install the package successfully.

Actual results

Relevant log ouput:

What if you just try only including the dbt_date package in your packages.yml? Does that work?

packages:
  - package: calogica/dbt_date
    version: 0.10.1

I'd be curious if it is affecting all packages or just dbt_utils. e.g., I'd be curious if this works for you or not also:

packages:
  - package: calogica/dbt_date
    version: 0.10.1
  - package: calogica/dbt_expectations
    version: 0.10.4
  - package: brooklyn-data/dbt_artifacts
    version: 2.6.4

Yes, it only affects dbt-utils package. Other packages are installing successfully.
