My network is normal, everything is working and when I try to install rclone alphine the same error above occurs. The problem is in the script and not in our network/internet

Edit: casaos too

It's not a DNS error.
It's a 429 error (many retries).

I've found that in many of the scripts they download, there is some GitHub limiting rule that prevents many downloads. The files are as follows:

Even the SPINNER_PID error occurs when the file cannot be downloaded. This error is handled in this function:

error_handler() { source /dev/stdin <<<$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/misc/api.func) if [ -n "$SPINNER_PID" ] && ps -p "$SPINNER_PID" >/dev/null; then kill "$SPINNER_PID" >/dev/null; fi printf "\e[?25h" local exit_code="$?" local line_number="$1" local command="$2" local error_message="${RD}[ERROR]${CL} in line ${RD}$line_number${CL}: exit code ${RD}$exit_code${CL}: while executing command ${YW}$command${CL}" post_update_to_api "failed" "${command}" echo -e "\n$error_message\n" }

@kendikaku i cant really do this back/forth with someone that has "DevOps | Backend | Frontend" in their linkedin profile and doesn't know what is rate limiting and/or what bash scripts do... Like i said, its network issue, you either cant reach github or you got rate limited as @vk2r said, because you abuse the github.

@kendikakuRealmente no puedo hacer esto con alguien que tiene "DevOps | Backend | Frontend" en su perfil de LinkedIn y no sabe qué es la limitación de velocidad o qué hacen los scripts de Bash... Como dije, es un problema de red, o no puedes acceder a GitHub o tienes una limitación de velocidad. @vk2rdijo, porque abusas de github.

Excuse me, I'd ask for a little more respect.
I was the one who posted this issue, and from what I understand, I haven't abused Github or anything like that.

This issue has been spreading over the past few days. I've seen it in several posts with similar problems.

I don't know who's responsible, but something has changed. At this point, the only thing that matters is solving the problem. We already know it's a problem due to the number of requests. We need to check if Github has any limiters or if any rate limit features have been recently configured in this repository.

I recommend starting a thorough check. If this escalates, there will be more problems for many more people.

Ok, i'm sorry. Clearly both of you got rate limited by doing nothing. We will do a through check of one curl command that gets ran on your rate limited host.

Stay tuned

Ok, I won't be giving any kind of feedback or anything like that if the developers treat users this way, I appreciate everyone's effort in this project.

Hey, just wanted to throw my 2 cents here, also getting this problem. To me it looks like too many people are installing scripts and hitting GitHub's endpoints. It takes several retries for me to install new software. This didn't happen in the past.

My suggestion would be to have a dedicated hosting service to host the scripts, I'm sure some would be more than happy to sponsor a project like this.
