Adding more details since I tried again just a couple of minutes ago. The first 2 attempts started downloading the package but failed at some point while the 3 one got stuck.

First attempt.

In the computer that is working the mirror is different: https://ctan.fisiquimicamente.com/systems/mac/mactex/mactex-20240312.pkg

The mirror redirection is done by mactex, as you can see in the output Homebrew receives a redirect:

==> Downloading https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/mactex-20240312.pkg
==> Downloading from https://osl.ugr.es/CTAN/systems/mac/mactex/mactex-20240312.pkg

This means there is nothing Homebrew could do to fix your connection to the mirror.

khipp commented 2 months ago

If you have a working mirror, you can download the file manually and move it to the cache location before installing the cask (see documentation):

mv mactex-20240312.pkg "$(brew --cache --build-from-source mactex-no-gui)"
