I am seeking to update my Python version to 3.10. In the command prompt, when I run `conda install python=3.10` I receive a CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url [https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current\_repodata.json](https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json). When I navigate to the directory [https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/](https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/), however, it appears that current\_repodata.json does not exist. There is a file entitled “repodata.json” that I imagine should be the target. Would anyone know if this is: 1.) an issue on the Anaconda end that requires updating the file names in the Anaconda win-64 directory, or 2.) an issue that I can fix locally by changing the file path that is called by ‘conda install python=3.10’ (and how?) or 3.) some other fix I haven’t considered? Thanks so much. **Conda info** conda version : 4.12.0 conda-build version : 3.21.6 python version : 3.9.7.final.0 virtual packages : \_\_cuda=11.4=0 \_\_win=0=0 \_\_archspec=1=x86\_64 platform : win-64 user-agent : conda/4.12.0 requests/2.26.0 CPython/3.9.7 Windows/10 Windows/10.0.19042 ---

It may have been a temporary outage. I am able to resolve [https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current\_repodata.json](https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json) successfully even though it is not listed in the directory index. Are you still seeing this problem? ---

Hi Crystal, Thank you so much for your response! I honestly had not checked the full address before, but I can resolve it in my browser. That makes me think the issue might be related to the network configuration, so I’ll redouble efforts to solve the problem from our side. ---

Hi Crystal, Just a quick update: it was an issue with our company’s firewall, and I have now been able to retrieve the package. Thank you again for looking into this question on my behalf. Sincerely, mbranham ---

Hi Maud, I am not a very sophisticated information technologist, but here are the things that helped me: ([Fetching Conda Packages Behind a Firewall](http://seanlaw.github.io/2015/12/23/fetching-conda-packages-behind-a-firewall/)) I also believe you can temporarily disable ssl verification from your command prompt to download the package using: conda config --set ssl\_verify no, then you can re-enable with conda config --set ssl\_verify yes. It sounds like the latter approach is unsafe, so be careful pulling from random conda repos. This issue was resolved for me months ago and I cannot remember which approach was taken, but I believe it might have been that our company’s IT team needed to make a change to my firewall settings. Hope this info is at least somewhat helpful. ---

Hello, i could download all packages when being at home, with only VPN. and I solved my second issue , which was linked to a proxy, which needed a specific value and name. thanks
