@ovflowd This sounds like it could be due to nodejs/nodejs.org#4991?

[ovflowd]

@tniessen seems to be working for me. Both on CloudFlare and non-CloudFlare. But this page was broken a few hours ago indeed.

I think we can close this for now and keep monitoring.

@TimDaub Is this still an issue, even after a hard refresh?

This also causes all binary releases to be unavailable for all GitHub CI. please fix this ASAP

@himself65 please mind your tone 😅 we're working on the clock for the last 3-4 hours non-stop.

The issue is something on CloudFlare side, due to cache invalidation issues, mixed with our server becoming unresponsive because of the sheer amount of requests coming in and the clients also caching these 404s.

So it's a mix of a lot of things, and right now we're working on all angles but we're sadly outmanned.

Also, the issue doesn't affect all binaries neither all releases. It is a spotty issue that changes from time to time.

Sorry for the rudeness.

seems to work for me again, thx

URLs like these still seem to be down:
https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.14.0/node-v18.14.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

This on the other hand seems to work:
https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.14.2/node-v18.14.2-linux-x64.tar.gz

Same issue here, also with node docker images :/

Please see nodejs/nodejs.org#5149 (comment). Depending on your physical location and depending on which particular file you are attempting to access, you might see unexpected 404 status codes. We expect this to be resolved as we manually purge the cache for popular URLs, which takes a few minutes. The remaining URLs should be resolved within a few hours.
