    Downloading update from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/really-simple-ssl.2.2.12.zip…](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/really-simple-ssl.2.2.12.zip…)
   An error occurred while updating Really Simple SSL: Download failed. Not Found
 * Been meaning to ask and jsut getting around to it. What is the best and safest
   way to fix this issue?
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Very strange. Today I had a 404 on the download link on this page. But now it
   seems to work. I’ve submitted a support question at WordPress.
 * They didn’t couldn’t reproduce the issue, so it’s hard figure out.
 * The plugin stats don’ show any drops in downloads, so most people seem to be 
   able to download.
 * I’ll let you know if we find anything.
 * In the meantime: you could try downloading from this page, as the issue does 
   not seem to be permanent.

 * Strange indeed. Have never had the issue b4 with any other official repository
   plugins.
 * Even more strange, it started working all of a sudden about an hour after submitting
   this… Must be an official WP gremlin;)
 * Going to mark as resolved since plugin is now updating.
 * Thank you much!

   based in Colorado and maybe somk’in the good stuff:)
 * Seriously, this should not be happening.
