i saw the real reason for the error now --

It's an internal problem. Seems packagecloud.io plan has exceeded.

Yep, it's another another month where the bandwidth limit on Packagecloud (165GB) is reached early, so the account gets suspended.
It's costing me USD $150 per month to do this hosting and I've asked for support with covering these costs from the community so until that's covered I'm not keen to extend myself further.

The billing cycle resets around the 22nd of the month, and the manual install from the Releases page is still available.

Okay just submitted an issue for that...
So anyway thanks for hosting it anyway, i really enjoy desktop so i can't complain so far.

Have you considered paying around 5 $ a month for a server (linode or other) there you'll get unlimited bandwith for the most part.

I don't know about repository hosting but i seems like you can have a look at it.

It's been an ongoing discussion but #278 (comment) and subsequent comments are the alternatives I've investigated and so far I haven't found a substitute that checks all of the boxes.
