Is nuget.exe moved or inaccessible (500 Internal Server Error)?

Question

I've got a number of projects, configured to download NuGet.exe and restore NuGet packages, when required. I'm using a little modified NuGet.targets, which executes this script:

Log.LogMessage("Downloading latest version of NuGet.exe...");
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile("https://nuget.org/nuget.exe", OutputFilename);

Everything was working well. At least during this week this code raises exception, which returns 500 Internal Server Error, and NuGet.exe can't be downloaded. At the same time, packages downloading works.

What's happening? What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Works for me from the browser. I receive a 302 to a cdn, and the file is delivered.

I tested the snippet quickly, and it works. Maybe something temporarily from your location?
