Can you reach that URL from your browser? Can you post the output of `curl -LI https://pkg.julialang.org/registry/23338594-aafe-5451-b93e-139f81909106/e8d546e7403e5b6c65432c458789731899ca255e` (or something similar that works in your Windows terminal).

I have installed a new Julia version (v1.10.3, from v1.9.0) without deleting the original `C:\Users\name\.julia` folder. Is this the reason?

No, that should not matter. Can you reach the last redirect URL there ([https://storage.julialang.net/registry/23338594-aafe-5451-b93e-139f81909106/e8d546e7403e5b6c65432c458789731899ca255e.tar.gz](https://storage.julialang.net/registry/23338594-aafe-5451-b93e-139f81909106/e8d546e7403e5b6c65432c458789731899ca255e.tar.gz)) in the browser?

It was fine at least until I upgraded the Julia version (not sure if it worked properly after the upgrade), and I wonder what the underlying factors were causing the problem.

It still doesn’t work well even when I retry after deleting the `.julia` folder.

Thanks, but I’m sorry that I still don’t quite understand what the problem is.

Depending on when you updated Julia, this might be a red herring because the server was also updated recently, see [Changes to PkgServers storage backend - #4 by fredrikekre](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/changes-to-pkgservers-storage-backend/112378/4) for some more information.
It looks like you can not connect to `https://storage.julialang.net`. Perhaps you are behind a firewall and/or proxy of some sort that don’t allow it.

This is (almost) never a solution and you should never use this “tool” so lightly since you may have data in there that will be lost.

The date I downloaded Julia v1.10.3 is 2024/5/10. The last modification date of the `.julia\registries\General.tar.gz` and `General.toml` are both 2024/5/11. I’m sure everything went well at least before 2024/5/10.

But I can connect to the URL from the browser when my proxy is turned on. Is it reasonable?

Thanks for your kind reminder! I just changed the name of the folder `.julia` temporarily for a test. 🤝 🤝

Changing JULIA\_PKG\_SERVER , does the error become different?

Although it’s still unclear why the original URL suddenly lost connection, your solution has brought me an unprecedented experience in using Julia. I can’t thank you any more!
Now I’m just wondering if the mirror site can keep up with the updates of the packages? Is it synchronized with the official Julia website, or is there a delay?

Usually the delay is within 1 day like you can view on the [Mirrors (nju.edu.cn)](https://mirror.nju.edu.cn/) page.
