When I try and download forge, the download does not start after clicking adfoc.us link. I think there is an issue with the download repository currently.

I'm also having this issue

https://maven.minecraftforge.net/ - doesnt work

I am also having this issue and thought there might be a problem on my end. 

I hope they fix it soon

Same too. I can't download neither the installer nor the installer when i run it can't download any libraries. Forge Servers died?

Screens in spoiler

Also posting to state that I have the exact same problem.

I'm having the same problem, will it be fixed? Does anyone know?

Same problem also with mdk version. zip and every other tipe of version, hope it'll get fixed soon

I got this when trying to launch my mod in IntelliJ. Looks like the gradle plugin has temporarly (I hope) gone

org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle', version: '5.1.+'] was not found

EDIT:

From the Forge discord

 

Our maven server (https://maven.minecraftforge.net/) which hosts all project files and downloads, is currently experiencing a fault leading to a Gateway Timeout.

We are aware of the issue, and are currently working to fix it.

Please stand by.

In the meantime, you can enable Gradle Offline mode (https://www.baeldung.com/gradle-offline-mode) to use artifacts cached without hitting the maven.

These messages were sent around 2 hours ago, so I guess we'll just wait or work in offline mode if you really need

Was just about to start a new server with friends, but nooooo...

I think some kind of a backup system would be great to have, considering how important Forge is for the Minecraft community.
