This is happening to me today. Been trying for 2 or 3 hours to install CUDA toolkit. Have tried the network installer, the local installer, the local shell script, all error out with 504.

Is this a just a semi-regular thing that you need to wait out?

Edit: Okay, I’m in New Zealand trying this locally. I logged into a remote AWS instance and it worked fine. So must be some sort of local DNS issue.
