connection error 
This happen quite often when they are too many concurrent requests to github.

i can understand it’s a bit cumbersome to handle on the user side. Maybe we should try a few times in the lib (eg with timeout) before failing, what do you think @lhoestq ? Yes currently there's no retry afaik. We should add retries Retries were added in #1603 :) 
It will be available in the next release Hi @lhoestq thank you for the modification, I will use`script_version="master"` for now  :), to my experience, also setting timeout to a larger number like 3*60 which I normally use helps a lot on this.

Hi
I am hitting to this error, thanks
