Error when trying to download updates

When clicking on the “Download” button (as I often do) in Fedora’s Software app which shows available updates to the system, LibreOffice and others, I get the following error in a popup window:

Cannot download Packages/w/webkit2gtk4.1-2.42.0-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried; Last error: Status code: 404 for http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/fedora/linux/updates/38/Everything/x86_64/Packages/w/webkitgtk6.0-2.42.0-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm

A similar error occurred a long time ago, but resolved itself after a couple days.

I’m currently running Fedora 38, GNOME 44.4, kernel 6.4.14-200.fc38.x86_64.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
