Nodejs intermittent 500/503 responses

[hlpmenu]

Im not 100% sure this is the right place, but since the morning(currently 6pm here) there have been huge issues with downloading node tarballs from the official source.

The responses switches between 503 and 500. Affecting both installing/updating using nvm, manually downloading, and most importantly making deployments on cloudflare impossible if using node in any matter. As the build step fails on "downloading node.js binary"

Works 1/10 times when manually visiting the url.

@hlpmenu I was seeing the same since this morning but It is resolved now.

The issue at hand is the static file server getting overloaded due to a cache purge (re nodejs/build#3424). This current fix is to just wait it out unfortunately, but when this worker is deployed these issues should decrease to almost none.

Seems to be fixed now!
