Bad Gateway 502 Error when installing addons/skins

Help and Support
1

So I’ve been trying to install a new skin, each time it fails. Looking into the logs, curl is failing to download anything and returning a 502 error. Any ideas for a work around at all? I cannot connect to the site using my laptop either. DNS is set to use googles DNS service. OSMC can ping other websites fine, there is connectivity. I’ve pasted the error below. Thanks!

It just means the Kodi mirrors are having issues. They should be back again shortly. Try again in an hour or so.

It seems to be a problem with Asian IPs (I am in Japan) getting a wrong redirect. Its been an issue for some time, but the workaround is to use a VPN to download the .zip and install manually.
Just thought I’d let anyone else who has this problem know about it.
The link below explains the error in more detail.

I see. We are looking at offering our own addons mirror to alleviate the strain on the Kodi mirror system in the near future.
