Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12446

What is the issue?

I cannot download the Windows version of the ollama installer from the official website https://ollama.com/download/windows.

The "Download" button leads to the following URL: https://ollama.com/download/OllamaSetup.exe, where the first error occurs - the browser warns about an invalid certificate (NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID). If I choose to ignore the warning, I'm redirected to the following URL:

https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset/658928958/d802163e-5202-4caf-89dc-7e31a50cb2c7?sp=r&sv=2018-11-09&sr=b&spr=https&se=2025-09-29T15%3A54%3A08Z&rscd=attachment%3B+filename%3DOllamaSetup.exe&rsct=application%2Foctet-stream&skoid=96c2d410-5711-43a1-aedd-ab1947aa7ab0&sktid=398a6654-997b-47e9-b12b-9515b896b4de&skt=2025-09-29T14%3A53%3A14Z&ske=2025-09-29T15%3A54%3A08Z&sks=b&skv=2018-11-09&sig=pNkpgtyqoyBNo0mqNvwc%2BY7aQM4y86URI1EBbCdGew8%3D&jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJnaXRodWIuY29tIiwiYXVkIjoicmVsZWFzZS1hc3NldHMuZ2l0aHVidXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tIiwia2V5Ijoia2V5MSIsImV4cCI6MTc1OTE1ODUwMiwibmJmIjoxNzU5MTU4MjAyLCJwYXRoIjoicmVsZWFzZWFzc2V0cHJvZHVjdGlvbi5ibG9iLmNvcmUud2luZG93cy5uZXQifQ.Mq59nM0noaruXHJH3HxHGfPW-vZhExY8iTR_AbeI0no&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3DOllamaSetup.exe&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

...where the connection gets reset immediately, no download starts (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET).

I am also unable to install ollama with package managers - neither Chocolatey nor Winget. Both seem to use the aforementioned download link (), and they fail with the following error messages:

Chocolatey:

Downloading Ollama

ERROR: The remote file either doesn't exist, is unauthorized, or is forbidden for url 'https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.12.3/OllamaSetup.exe'.

This package is likely not broken for licensed users - see https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/features/private-cdn.
The install of ollama was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\Ollama\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.
See log for details.

Winget:

Downloading https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.12.3/OllamaSetup.exe
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
InternetOpenUrl() failed.
0x80072f06 : unknown error

Other tools - wget, curl - are also unable to download the installer.

The issue seems to be regional - I have managed to workaround it by using a VPN with server in the US. I experience the problems described working from Poland.

I do not need any further assistance (download via VPN worked well), but I wanted to 1. let you know about the problem (probably a CDN misconfiguration?) and 2. let others know about the regionality of the issue and the VPN workaround.
