I have IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. I can also just wget those files. Other target (ipq40xx) do not have any problems. On WDR3600 it always fails:

Wow, I have 33 % packet loss on ipv4 and 0 % on ipv6.

However, both uclient-fetch commands work.

related sidenote: suspect the (trunk only?) recent (3 weeks ago?) busybox bump (or SRV pr etc.) has altered OS handling with ipv6 ( generally for the better )... unsure if these improvements feed back down to uclient-fetch

something to do with resolver ip selection...

I believe a minor packet loss should not be critical.
However, there's a long standing issue for musl/getaddrinfo selecting an incorrect socket for outgoing connections under certain conditions.
Try to bring down unrelated interfaces and temporarily disable IPv6 to isolate the problem.

Try another Mirror https://openwrt.org/downloads#mirrors Think closes to you would be France on http://openwrt.tetaneutral.net but check first if you get pocket loss

Hi there,
i have a similar problem. When calling:

wget -4 -O /dev/null https://downloads.openwrt.org/

I get the following error message:

root@rome03:/tmp# wget -4 -O /dev/null https://downloads.openwrt.org/
Downloading 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/'
Connecting to 168.119.138.211:443
Connection error: Invalid SSL certificate

Something seems wrong with the certificate?
