I have tried a few times today (through Chrome) to download the Win64 Processing software from https://processing.org/download/.
No luck so far though - the download is incredibly slow (showing as either needing several hours or several days), and eventually fails either with a “Failed - Forbidden” or “Failed - Network error” message.
Has anyone else had similar issues? Is there an alternative download link that I could use? I have reliable and fast (50Mb) broadband and it looks like the zip is only 127MB so I don’t understand why this might be happening.
I cannot reproduce the issue and I was able to download the Win x64 version in about 10 secs.
I strongly suggest you get your Processing version from this site instead of using some unknown source.
This seems to be a network issue. If you can, try using another ISP provider (maybe you can go to a neighbor or another site with wifi access?). I would suspect this is a temporal issue. Finally, you can contact your ISP directly and create a ticket with them so they investigate.
Just in case anybody else runs into this issue: it looks like me being located in Germany is currently a problem with all downloads from “https://github-production-release-asset- … .s3.amazonaws.com” (not just with Processing). Large downloads from other servers are OK. So, I relocated to the US via VPN -> and although github downloads are still slow, they are successful and faster than before.
