vscode: wget download failed for vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz

  • VSCode Version: 1.54.0
  • Local OS Version: Windows 10.0.18363
  • Remote OS Version: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
  • Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Connecting to remove server using remote SSH on VS Code
  2. log returns:
[12:21:16.400] > wget download failed
> failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection t
> imed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Co

> failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection t
> imed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Connection timed out. failed: Co

Then I check to see which file it’s trying to download and it returns:

wget https://vscode.cdn.azure.cn/stable/42e27fe5cdc58539dad9867970326a297eb8cacf/vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz

I tried to manual download it on my server and it will be stuck at:

Resolving vscode.cdn.azure.cn (vscode.cdn.azure.cn)... 112.90.58.219, 112.65.212.110, 112.65.212.105, ... Connecting to vscode.cdn.azure.cn (vscode.cdn.azure.cn)|112.90.58.219|:443...

Is the download server down right now? It has been working flawlessly before.

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: Yes Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I’m seeing a pattern, is this bug only for Taiwan users?

Same issue, everything worked fine yesterday 😦

We just deployed a new update which redirects Taiwan users to the main Azure instance. Can you confirm whether this is working now for you? Thanks.

It’s working, thanks. 🎉

It’s working now! Thanks for the prompt response!
