Error in one of epel mirrors

Hello,

Since 2 weeks ago (22nd of Sep), I started to get errors when trying to download epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm returning Forbidden on one of the mirrors (38.145.60.24). If I get lucky in DNS, I connect to a mirror that is working but most of the times I’m not.
Here’s an example:

$ wget  https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
--2023-10-07 09:35:59--  https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Resolving dl.fedoraproject.org (dl.fedoraproject.org)... 38.145.60.22, 38.145.60.23, 38.145.60.24
Connecting to dl.fedoraproject.org (dl.fedoraproject.org)|38.145.60.22|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 15608 (15K) [application/x-rpm]
Saving to: ‘epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm’

Here’s one where it doesn’t work:

$ wget  https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
--2023-10-07 09:36:02--  https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Please let me know if I should request help somewhere else…
Thank you

There has been problems with the servers that are being worked on.
It was being discussed in another topic, but i cannot find it…

I guess it was this right?

I think that is probably the one referred to. It seems correct to me.

@nunofernandes , since this is already being worked on then all you can do is wait and continue to update if the problem continues for a long period. Hopefully it will be permanently resolved soon.

Here is the relevant infrastructure issue, which was resolved earlier today.
