Is something wrong with the Microsoft servers around the world?

I've tried a lot of options. Only this solved it: my computer has a VPN program installed. winget can't update anything, then I start the VPN, now winget work without error.

[huyz]

@jaccattrongnlh Sounds like you're in VN. If so, switch your connection from VNPT to FPT (or maybe Viettel)

You're genius, I'm from VN too. It's worked with VPN connected to my office. Doesn't know why. I'm using Viettel at home, VNPT at office.

[ReshaSD]

Hey guys. any news when the issue will be resolved? I see the 7zip url is unavailable at all:

[Masamune3210]

If you are failing to open the page in a browser, its not an issue with winget, its an issue with your connection or something deeper in the system.

[ReshaSD]

@Masamune3210 Ok you are right. My home provider doesn't allow to download that URL. But it works in different place.

[ReshaSD]

It probably did at some point, but no longer does. Either way, that's not what this issue is about, that's just a case of the manifest being incorrect and needing to be updated.

Ok you are right. My home provider doesn't allow to download that URL. But it works in different place.

I have found an easier option: change the DNS settings to another DNS server, not the Viet Nam ISP DNS server.
