Nixos Install returns unable to download cache.nixos.org

Help

I am installing nixos on my laptop but i get an error when it tries to connect to

https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0f8qr64jfhs04zxb95vwdiszig97xj3ppdl737r4xa7dbphrdqmv.nar.xz’

I have confirmed https://cache.nixos.org/ is live. but the full link “https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0f8qr64jfhs04zxb95vwdiszig97xj3ppdl737r4xa7dbphrdqmv.nar.xz” gives me a 404 error.

I think the 404 error could a firewall or network issue which explains why my laptop wont successfully install nixos. But at the same time the 404 error could be because I am accessing that link via browser. I do not know how to proceed.

I have the most recent iso image from nixos.org.
I have an i7 processor.
I was able to use the same USB last week to install nixos on my desktop.
here is my log file

If someone could explain the issue to me I would be great full.

I’m not getting a 404 here interestingly enough

Firewall seems unlikely unless you have some man on the middle Corporate TLS interception stuff.

I must have missed a letter when i first tried the full link. I was able to connect and download the file on a second try. Since I am able to download the file from the browser on the laptop where the install is failing, It makes me think the issue is with curl.

Here is the error codes

Anyone seen these before?

In case anyone encounters this problem again. I fixed this by connecting to my phones hot spot when installing. I’m not sure what caused the curl error but switching to a different network when installing fixed the problem
