Could anyone help me figure out what’s the cause of this appveyor build failure? It seems that the script can’t download the julia binaries, yet the same exact script has worked fine for other packages.

[https://ci.appveyor.com/project/chakravala/reducealgebra-jl/build/job/miyibtof2infmm89](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/chakravala/reducealgebra-jl/build/job/miyibtof2infmm89)

```nohighlight
(new-object net.webclient).DownloadFile( $env:JULIA_URL, "C:\projects\julia-binary.exe")
Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "2" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."

```

Try switching to the Appveyor script in the README here: [https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl)
