A bug in the previous release of LyX 2.3.2 for Windows prevented the

It is not necessary to install this update unless you use the
Bibliography environment.
Is there a problem with the LyX server?
Since Thursday evening (3/1/19) I've been unable to access the updated
installer. My browser (Firefox 64.0) always tells me that:
"The connection has timed out. The server at ftp.lyx.org is taking too
long to respond."
Firefox will emit that diagnostic when one is attempting to access an IP
blocker by a LAN. For example, at a bistro that I frequent, all sites
outside of the US are blocked, including LyX.org.
(The diagnostic may thus be grossly misleading.)
That doesn't mean that your problem is necessarily caused in this
manner, but it's a possibility.
I've never previously had a problem connecting to the LyX FTP site with
Firefox, including when I downloaded the previous version of the
installer for LyX 2.3.2 in December.
I've now tried to connect to the site using Filezilla FTP client.
This generates the following messages:
Status: Resolving address of ftp.lyx.org
Status: Connecting to 195.83.118.1:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection closed by server
Error: Could not connect to server
These messages reinforce my original suspicions.
