Hi,
something is blocking access to all our trials. The logs show that LWP,
curl, and wget failed :-(((
Can you try
curl --user-agent texlive/curl --location <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512</a>
and show us the output?
Norbert

I don't have access to "curl" (nor do I know what it is or does) but
attempting your suggestion with "wget" yields the following success
