Download servers are down again. TuxFamily hosting is highly unreliable

Are TuxFamily download servers down again?? Right now (7:58 AM UTC), all of the official download links (everything from the engine to export template) are unreachable Godot Standard 64bit Export Templates Is it me only or everyone is affected? I have encountered this numerous times but I thought it was because of my network. It has since became so annoyingly regular in my region, no matter which network I change. In my opinion, TuxFamily is a really bad hosting for big platforms like Godot, as the service seems only suitable for small projects. I do really appreciate the goodwill of the service team in promoting freedom, but the fact of the matter is that they can't keep up with such high traffic. Godot should really be moved to other platforms where it's reliable for everyone.

Different ToD but seems fine at least now on my end.

Consider using the steam version if you feel that TuxFamily.org is "a really bad hosting for big platforms(sic) like Godot"? Seems valve-money should ensure good enough infrastructure, no?

edit: forgot that godot is also now available from itch.io check it out: https://godotengine.itch.io/godot

Just checked. The links are online for now. Does Steam have different builds or export templates? I have considered to try but preferred the official version.

Its the same builds and export templates, just using Steam as the content provider. They are exactly the same as the official version and its overseen by the same Godot team that puts out the official builds :smile:
