Nothing seems to happen when I run `up`, and on aborting the process with `CTRL+C`, this is what I find:

```julia

```

I had also seen this message once:

```julia
attempting to remove probably stale pidfile

```

but the update seemingly was stalled after this.

After removing the `~/.julia` directory, I find

```julia
(@v1.9) pkg> up
  Installing known registries into `~/.julia`
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
│ exception = RequestError: HTTP/2 301 (Connection timeout after 30029 ms) while requesting https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
└ @ Pkg.Registry ~/packages/julias/julia-1.9/share/julia/stdlib/v1.9/Pkg/src/Registry/Registry.jl:69

```

Is there an issue with the registries? Or is this something at my end?

I’m also having the same problem. I think [https://pkg.julialang.org/](https://pkg.julialang.org/) is down at the moment.

Looking at [https://status.julialang.org/](https://status.julialang.org/), it seems that `in.pkg.julialang.org` is the one that’s down, while the others are up.

I can also load e.g. [https://us-west.pkg.julialang.org/](https://us-west.pkg.julialang.org/) in a browser, and a current workaround seems to be to set

```julia
julia> ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = "us-west.pkg.julialang.org"
"us-west.pkg.julialang.org"

```

before attempting the upgrade (or set it to any of the other working servers, depending on one’s location).
