Hi

Can you try downloading using the `wget --continue` command? This will basically let you continue a download if it fails.  
This is most likely an issue with how your network is connecting to GitHub’s servers - I tried downloading the release right now and it worked fine for me.

Hello anujdeshpande, thanks for helping. I call a friend and he downloaded balena-etcher with sucess in his network . I think you’re right, something blocking git repository in my network. Thanks very much! 😃
