looks like there was an issue connecting with the provided checkpoint URL? have you tried any other ones for checkpoint sync or if there's just an issue connecting?

Thanks James, yes, it was the network issue after checking, now we have successfully run up 2 full node with prysm + geth in Singapore and Hong Kong.

closing as it seems to have resolved itself

@xiaozhejesse hey~~ Hi, I'm having the same problem.

If it's a network issue,

are you talking about the "--suggested-fee-recipient" issue? What network is it?
