Hey everyone,

I'm running into an unfortunate problem that I can't seem to resolve. When trying to download Proxmox from (https://enterprise.proxmox.com/iso/proxmox-ve_9.0-1.iso) I keep getting a failure. The first time I tried it gave an error of "Connection Interrupted". Then when I tried again it failed to even start the download, saying that the connection timed out.

Steps I've taken to try and resolve this:
-Disable my ad-blocker
-Change my DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
-Temporarily disable my local firewall
-Try separate browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) including the incognito modes
-Restart my Modem & Router
-Restart my computer
-Try from a separate computer

However, none of these have worked. I have never used Proxmox and I want to use it to help me start self-hosting. But this has been very frustrating. Am I doing something wrong somehow?

Thanks,

Maybe its blocked by your network provider? I just downloaded the ISO from that link and it worked fine, downloaded in about 30 seconds. Try going to a library or some other public place with wifi and try it.
