Hi,

I have been trying to download the '32-bit Git for Windows setup from ‘ https://git-scm.com/downloads’ latest versiion i.e. 2.13.0 but just cannot.

It downloadsl about 4-5mb but then says network error followed by Failed -Forbidden. I downloaded the file on the chrome browser online downloader.

I even ran the Windows Network Diagnostics but no error came up.

I hope you look into the issue and take the right steps to fix it. Hope you reply soon.

Regards!

All the links at https://git-scm.com/download/win actually lead to files hosted by github.com -- you can see for yourself by hovering over the relevant links there.

So you could possibly bring this problem in some Gitgub help channel.

Still, I've just downloaded 32-bit 2.13.0-6 whatever from there without any problem, 35.4 MiB. On the other hand, the Internet is highly heterogenous structure, and we surely used different channels to download; most probably this has nothing to do with Github.
