Houdini Launcher was working just fine until I upgraded it to 19.0.561. Now, I cannot install any version of Hqueue client or server. See the log below. Can anyone help me out with this. I have tried to do a clean install and cannot get it to work.

I've seen this before, it usually means the provider is down in some way. Try again later, it will probably be back online after some maintenance.

I also am getting weird errors when I try and download the offline version of the Houdini Launcher directly from sidefx's website. I did see that they posted about doing some maintenance today, but that was supposed to be done by 10:30 am edt. Maybe things are still under maintenance. Is anyone else having this issue?
