I'm not listing them here, but Insider build downloads are broken also, for all platforms.

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:
This is also breaking Remote - SSH

@Toxicable also breaking Remote - WSL
I can confirm that it breaks Remote-SSH downloading/updating. Same 500 error response.
As an aside, I really hope that this brittleness is removed once Remote goes live. There's no redundancies in place here, it should be checking if a slightly older version of the code is already located on said instances within an expected range.
I can't think of a worse nightmare than having to vim my way around WSL or a remote host because there's some third-party issue way out of my control.
It can download now!
It looks like this issue is solved just now. I've tried to restart my Insider with Remote WSL enabled , and everything is normal now. I also trying to some of links mentioned above, and it works now.
Then I will close this (unless there's an underlying problem and this should be open for reference). Glad to see everything working normally.
If this happens again I'm going to reopen this issue, since I see atleast 5 previous issues with the reliability of the update.code.visualstudio.com. (I see) No need for more clutter.
Just bump this issue and I'll reopen it. 馃檪
