I am trying to install epel on my centos 8 machine before installing cpulimit package and see following error:

I have set as below:
[root@ABCD ~]# grep zchunk /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
zchunk = False

When I try curl manually, I see below:

[root@ABCD ~]# curl https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=playground-epel8&arch=x86_64&infra=stock&content=centos

This is most likely a temporary issue that will be resolved within a few hours.
If the problem is urgent, you can try to work around it using a specific mirror address, or a VPN to change your location.

Please use CentOS support channels for such queries. CentOS is not developed or managed by the Fedora community.

Closing.

But this was about Fedora’s mirror manager not responding to a query…

Yeh but the fedora infra bits are used for lots of non-fedora projects. So, this should still be reported to the CentOS community who will then look at it or use their channels to inform their infra managers.

(If it were affecting Fedora repos, we’d take it up and notify infra.)
