Unable to download certain packages through VIPM

Cross-post: Unable to download certain packages through VIPM - VI Package Manager (VIPM) - VIPM Community

Does anyone else have trouble downloading certain packages through VIPM?

For example, I'm unable to download SQLite Library 1.16.0 because "VIPM could not download the package ... from the remote server."

I checked the error details and was able to locate the package on the server: https://download.ni.com/#evaluation/labview/lvtn/vipm/packages/drjdpowell_lib_sqlite_labview/

I tried different versions of VIPM, including 2019 and 2025.1 (build 2772) with no avail.

Other packages do not appear to be affected. Can someone confirm?

I'm able to download the package directly from the server with no issues so the problem is with VIPM.

I think this is teh same issue as this: https://forums.ni.com/t5/JDP-Science-Tools/Cannot-Install-JDP-Science-Common-Utilities/m-p/4418396#M205

The SQLite package requires JDP Common Utilities, and that package seems to have a problem.   Workaround is to download it and have VIPM install it directly, rather than try and get it from the Tools Network servers (it's a server issue, not a problem with the package itself).  I'll attach it here as well.

Try installing this and then retry installing SQLite.

Yes this could be the same issue.

In my case, however, the issue is with SQLite Library (JDP Common Utilities installs normally). Strangely, the reported package URL works in the browser. Only VIPM is not able to download the file.

That said, I just tested it again and now it works for version 1.16.0 but not for 1.15.0. Again, there is no issue downloading the file with the reported URL: http://download.ni.com/evaluation/labview/lvtn/vipm/packages/drjdpowell_lib_sqlite_labview/drjdpowell_lib_sqlite_labview-1.15.0.114.vip
