They manage their project\nthrough GitHub (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git), where you can\nfind their issue tracker, which would be the place to report this.\n\nHowever, because Git for Windows distributed release assets (such as the\none you're downloading) through GitHub's release asset functionality,\nwhich is typically robust and well-maintained, I suspect this is a\nproblem with your network or computer.  For instance, while I do not use\nWindows, I attempted to download the Windows binary and it completed\nnearly instantly.\n\nThere's a variety of software and network devices that can prevent this\nkind of functionality from working.  If you have a non-default antivirus\nor firewall (that is, something other than Windows Defender or Windows\nFirewall), those are common sources of breakage, and we advise people to\ncompletely uninstall such software and restart (disabling it is often\nnot sufficient).  Similarly, if you're using a proxy or TLS MITM device,\nsuch as on a corporate network, those can also be the source of\nproblems; we advise you to try another network.  Some countries may also\nblock some sites, or there may simply be some sort of routing or network\nproblem between your network or ISP and that of GitHub's release assets\nserver.  We really can't tell you for certain, so you'll have to\ninvestigate further.\n\nIf you are going to report this nonetheless, I'm sure Dscho and the other\ncontributors to that project will appreciate you providing a full list\nof any relevant factors, such as I've mentioned above.\n-- \nbrian m. carlson (they/them or he/him)\nToronto, Ontario, CA\n"}]}
