Same here Installing Cypress (version: 4.9.0)

[iwakoscott]

Same here installing Cypress 4.10.0

[iwakoscott]

I think it is back?

[masterginger]

Yes, it's back. I'm keeping this open since when it's down, https://www.cypressstatus.com/ was showing all green. I think https://www.cypressstatus.com/ should include the status of the download server since it's on the critical path of installing Cypress.

[qeternity]

Perhaps more of an architectural issue but I don't understand why cypress downloads assets in a post install hook...this breaks caching with a tool like verdaccio
