This affects multiple packages with the same error/cause, I don't want to raise many issues for what is essentially the same thing

Additional context

All of the build failures I'm having seems to be because VcPkg cannot download https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/i686/mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config-0.29.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz. Everything was working last month (we do an update once a month). I have tried two different machines, I get the same build failure on both.

repo.msys2.org is down. I'm not sure if there is any way to work around this issue at present.

I just saw quite a few other people raised the same issue about repo.msys2.org being down. Is the solution to just wait until it comes back up?

There's an issue about it at the MSYS2 repository (https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/7084). One of the comments says it can be worked around by using a mirror from https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/pacman-mirrors.

thanks, for fix need use external links and download manually to "C:vcpkgdownloads" files what need.
