Looks like a windows issue when behind proxy. This happened to me when downloading other artifact, but only in the first time. Also it did not stop the artifact from being installed. Did Flux worked fine for you after that?

Unfortunately cant get Flux to work on 1.5 yet on Windows 10. Sounds like a general issue

Try doing the same on Julia v1.4, see if it works.
