Please try to download that file manually from the box that is generating the error. Your error message has the URL: curl --output outfile https://360.zef.pm/T/ER/TERMINAL_ANSICOLOR/687697f93d36df28d99841af8121e28f= 032f87eb.tar.gz I tried that URL from my box and it downloads fine. You could also add a =E2=80=9C=E2=80=94verbose=E2=80=9D to the zef command = to see if it tells you why the download is failing.
