Thank you for the details! You may try the "-S" options to wget: this will print the HTTP headers, which might help in identifying the problem. If I do that, this is what I see: | tomas@trotzki:/tmp$ wget -S https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-3.0.9.tar.gz | --2023-09-24 11:07:42-- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-3.0.9.tar.gz | Resolving ftp.gnu.org (ftp.gnu.org)... 2001:470:142:3::b, 209.51.188.20 | Connecting to ftp.gnu.org (ftp.gnu.org)|2001:470:142:3::b|:443... connected. | HTTP request sent, awaiting response... | HTTP/1.1 200 OK | Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 09:07:44 GMT | Server: Apache/2.4.29 (Trisquel_GNU/Linux) | Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000 | Last-Modified: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 13:51:41 GMT | ETag: "948a4f-5f316eea157b8" | Accept-Ranges: bytes | Content-Length: 9734735 | Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' https://static.fsf.org https://static.gnu.org https://gnu.org http://static.fsf.org http://static.gnu.org http://gnu.org; object-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none' | X-Frame-Options: DENY | X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff | Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 | Connection: Keep-Alive | Content-Type: application/x-gzip | Length: 9734735 (9.3M) [application/x-gzip] | Saving to: ‘guile-3.0.9.tar.gz’ [then it proceeds to download the file] I could imagine that your institution has a HTTP proxy between you and the internet, and that this just refuses to forward HTTPS. Alas, trying the "http://" URL, the server insists (HSTS policy) in upgrading that to the "https://" one, so if my guess is right above, we'd need a "Plan B". This would be one of the cases where blindly applying something perceived to be secure in spite of the users leads to bad results. Sigh. Cheers -- t
