Could you please provide some more details, such as:

• Steps you took up to this point
• What kind of remote extension(s) you're using
• Where you see the "Downloading with wget" message
• Full logs

Thanks!

@bamurtaugh I'm also faced with this timeout, so I tested the URL manually. After some test, I doubt that vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com have broken connectivity in certain part of the world.

However, this domain vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com (resolved to 182.254.60.101) cannot be connected to in China mainland, but a test via Google Colab seems OK (resolved to 152.199.39.108).

confirming this issue still exists, domain vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com is down with Error 504 `[16:21:34.971] > wget download failed

Update: wget from vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com for vscode-cli-8b3775030ed1a69b13e4f4c628c612102e30a681.tar.gz is now working. However, running the downloaded executable causes a segmentation fault on the remote server (distro: Linux 3.10.0-1160.105.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64).

@roblourens In addition, I am very confused that even if I managed to setup a working local proxy, make the "Downloading VS Code server locally" fallback successful and start coding, the next time (possibly the next day) I connect the remote server, the torture starts again, by trying to download a server with exactly the same hash Installing to /home/fedora/.vscodeserver/bin/903b1e9d8990623e3d7da1df3d33db3e42. The current status is, instead of a one-time pain, it takes around 5 minutes every day for each remote host I need to connect 😭

Is everyone having this problem from the China mainland?

@roblourens Thanks for your attention. For me, everything worked again after the 1.87.0 release. I'm not sure if it is attributed to the new release or the network connection, though. (Most likely to be a network issue)

But aside from the hopefully temporary issue, the code path of local download fallback seems very broken to me, leading to at least three distinct failure patterns (imagine that remote wget failed, but local download succeeded, and scp to remote finished):

1. The Remote SSH log just stuck at installing;
2. The Remote SSH log complains that another installation is in progess repeatedly and indefinitely (happens when I close a window in state 1);
3. Even after killing some remote process, clearing file locks, making it finally work for the current session, after a certain period of time (maybe 1 day), Remote SSH tries to start the download procedure again.

All the above are confusing and annoying UX that I experienced in the last few days. Since it works again now, I could not provide further confirmation or the steps to reproduce. But I wish that someone could review this less used code path to ensure it really works.

[roblourens]

The orignal PRSS issue actually should be fixed now https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/205938#issuecomment-1960995706

WIth the locking issue, you can manually delete the lock file to clear it up, but also setting "remote.SSH.useExecServer": true (soon to become default) may also resolve it.

Happy Coding!

@roblourens checking ""remote.SSH.useExecServer" did not solve my issue.
