Well, we are seeing transient network errors like: [build.sh][INFO] Downloading https://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.10.8-bin.zip to /home/runner/work/jdk/jdk/jtreg/src/make/../build/deps/apache-ant-1.10.8-bin.zip Error: sh][ERROR] wget exited with exit code 4 wget exit code 4 means "Network failure". We "know" waiting helps in the sense that job restarts help. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21758#discussion_r1820895426
