I can't download 3.0.11-win64. I started using Firefox plain download (showing it's library by Ctrl-J) and it failed, I retried in vain. I then tried using wget and it resulted

the last line stuck that way for maybe 2 mins. I then tried using DownloadThemAll! and it also failed. I then created this post.

Your help would be appreciated.

The official download site is https://www.videolan.org/

Try an alternative browser such as Pale Moon or Basilisk for example.

Basilisk also failed to download. Perhaps you missed the attempted download URL, it's in the OP quote 2nd line.

Try connecting to the link I posted please.

I don't have a problem connecting to any of the locations in the log you posted.

If the problem persists open an elevated command prompt and type netsh winsock reset and hit Enter. This will reset the network stack on your computer. A reboot is necessary to complete the operation.

Information on that command here
