I cannot download package from melpa, it worked two weeks ago

Emacs

It seems obviously it is a bug, I created a issue on officail github

it don’t work for almost a week, I suspect not many people use melpa

1. elpa works
curl -L https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/
2. but melpa don't work
curl -L https://melpa.org/packages/

Error message:

Failed to download ‘(melpa . https://melpa.org/packages/)’ archive.

I use below settings

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
                                 ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") 
                                 ("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                                 )
             t)
(package-initialize)

Try running M-x package-refresh-contents and then install again.

Your local package index needs to be up to date to what is contained in MELPA otherwise your Emacs will try to download older versions of packages that no longer exist on the MELPA server.

To be frank, this is not a useful bug report. It lacks crucial and basic information, even omitting the result of running the indicated shell commands.

That was premature. As well, you neglected to link the report here, so if it has already been answered there, we can’t benefit from it.

MELPA is used daily by many thousands of people and has been for over a decade.
