I have this for the packages

• cube-code-manifest
• programmer
• ninja

The other packages seems to work.

When I try to open the link in browser:

Hi @vinzenz_82,

No troubles so far on my side; I can download and install it either from the CLI or a web-browser.

Note that for the second case you have to url-encode the + char to %2b to make it working.

Weird to see this 403 Forbidden error BTW, are you on a restricted network or?

[vinzenz_82]

At company yes, thats a restricted newtwork. I will try aganin this evening at unrestricted network.
