If that is not possible then you could create your own mirror and configure is with "ptxdist setup": Source Download ---> PTXdist Mirror Then your own mirror will be used as fallback if the upstream is gone. If you also set "Only use PTXdist Mirror to download packages", then only this mirror will be used instead of trying the upstream URL.
