I'm sorry I'm not an expert on these things, but nobody else has replied. I would offer that most likely, there's a CDN providing those downloads. Since the problem only happened recently for you, perhaps it's the result of some temporary outage. I don't know the options off-hand, but I'm pretty certain there's a way to feed a user-supplied image to podman machine init. Assuming so, you could perform the download from a different network / location, and transfer the file as needed. I realize it's a PITA, but may be more reliable for the short-term. Hopefully the situation is/will clear up shortly. Please do let us know if not. --- Chris Evich (he/him), RHCA III Senior Quality Assurance Engineer If there's a "hard-way", I'm the first one to implement it.
