Unable to download storagenode-updater.zip/storagenode_linux_amd64.zip from github

Sometime ago there was a report on download binary file stuck for a very long time, it happen to one of my node now. I’ve try manually wget both storagenode.zip and storagenode-updater.zip on host, it stuck with a file with 0 byte size and no download was happening.

While I writing this topic, wget continued and node comeback online - for a total of 18 minutes downtime. I suspect this might be a protective mechanism from github to prevent mass distribution download…

Github has CDN, few folks downloading few MB here and there is nothing compared to the other traffic they handle. I’d recommend checking your network – from cables to router and firewall settings, etc.

I hope that was the case, otherwise when scale up the number of nodes, availability of storj might suffer…

This is usually related to problems with a network stack, for example, all connections are exhausted or the router drops packets or the ISP has issues.
