Can't install 'Plots' package: 'Ghostscript' artifact not downloading - Need help with workaround

Greetings and thank you for reading.

julia version 1.11.6

When attempting to add Plots, I get the following message:

Resolving package versions…
Failure artifact: Ghostscript
Failure artifact: Ghostscript
ERROR: Unable to automatically download/install artifact ‘Ghostscript’ from sources listed in ‘C:\Users\josece.julia\packages\Ghostscript_jll\x37hC\Artifacts.toml’.
Sources attempted:

I tried a workaround:

  1. I downloaded the artifact “Ghostscript.v9.55.1.x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz” directly from my browser.
  2. I put the tar.gz file in a folder and with ‘LiveServer’ using serve() I hosted it locally on ‘http://localhost:8000/
  3. I ran

Pkg.Artifacts.download_artifact(Base.SHA1(“bf8f14a072d574839afd40d235e4ce6cd9e91a78”),“http://localhost:8000/Ghostscript.v9.55.1.x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz”)

And got the error

ERROR: Unexpected end of data

I also tried using 7-zip to extract the tar.gz downloaded file and also got “Unexpected end of data” error.

Any help is appreciated.
