Brew install show already downloaded and stuck forever...

[Nauxscript]

just like above screen shot;

this has happened several times recent downloading app; I wonder how to fixed it or just let the installation executing normally

[alebcay]

At a glance, I'm not sure either why it may be getting stuck here, but can you please try again with --verbose and --debug flags? This should provide more information to make troubleshooting easier.

[Nauxscript]

ok i will try it

By the way, please don't use screenshots when sharing the output of commands in your terminal. They're often difficult to read and impossible to reuse (e.g. when looking up error messages). Instead, copy the text here and wrap them in three back-ticks (```) on the line before and on the line after to format them properly.

i see that, thanks for you useful suggestion

I was able to successfully install all the necessary packages by using a VPN to connect to a US server. With the VPN in place, I experienced no further issues with the download process.

I have the same problem here on Mac OSX 12.7.6 Homebrew 4.4.19-21-g9b6de82

[ssghost]

btw, I am in China, and the problem is always the same whether I turned on or off the VPN.

I believe there are mainland mirrors hosted by various universities, like this one: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/homebrew/
