#92771 Check the black screen on the bottom of the Arduino IDE. It will the show the error. In my case, I copy-pasted the link two times, so screen was showing some error like Downloading from link....; So anyone facing this issue, recheck your url in preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs.

#96514 Hi Team,
Having an issue with the Community ESP8266 board package. It was working in the morning 4 am AWST then in the evening I could not upload a sketch to my Node MCU V3 as it showed that the port was not available.
I reinstalled the driver CH 341, then tried to get it working by un-installing my board package.
Now it is unable to to install any version of the package and is throwing this error.

Failed to install platform: esp8266:esp8266.
Error: 2 UNKNOWN: Get "https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/32969220/1b286839-3f2e-4e52-8b93-6c6dc2b0ea1b?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWNJYAX4CSVEH53A%2F20230605%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20230605T101412Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=97346cd81d9af9313a01f0ecc954290b9dbae468c8f93828bf1a1c0517a43410&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&key_id=0&repo_id=32969220&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Desp8266-3.1.2.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
