Raw Blame History

First, let's tackle a common problem: do you have a .curlrc file? Check with ls -A ~ | grep .curlrc (if you get a result, the file exists). Those are a frequent cause of issues of this nature. Before anything else, remove that file and try again. If it now works, do not open an issue. Incompatible .curlrc configurations must be fixed on your side.

If, however, you do not have a .curlrc or removing it did not work, lets see if the issue is upstream:

  1. Go to the vendors website (brew cask home {{cask_name}}).
  2. Find the download link for the app and click on it.

If the download works

The cask is outdated. Lets fix it:

  1. Look around the apps website and find out what the latest version is. It will likely be expressed in the URL used to download it.
  2. Take a look at the casks version (brew cask _stanza version {{cask_name}}) and verify it is indeed outdated.
  • If the apps version is latest, it means the url itself is outdated. It will need to be changed to the new one.

Help us by submitting a fix. If you get stumped, open an issue explaining your steps so far and where youre having trouble.

If the download does not work

The issue isnt in any way related to Homebrew Cask, but with the vendor or your connection.

Start by diagnosing your connection (try to download other casks, go around the web). If the problem is with your connection, try a website like Ask Different to ask for advice.

If youre sure the issue is not with your connection, contact the apps vendor and let them know their link is down, so they can fix it.

Do not open an issue.
