I tried to download an old Akeeba Backup version 4.4.7 from https://www.akeeba.com/download/akeeba-backup/4-7-7.html

After I clicked the "Download" button,
I was redirected to a page with URL https://cdn.akeebabackup.com/downloads/akeebabackup/4.7.7/com_akeeba-4.7.7-core.zip
that displayed an error message:

This site can’t be reached
Check if there is a typo in cdn.akeebabackup.com.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

I asked a few other people and they encountered the same issue.

btw: the error is only with Akeeba Backup Core 4.7.7
The link for Akeeba Backup Professional 4.7.7 is working fine!

Ah! You know the meme "It's not DNS. It can't be DNS... It was DNS". Yep, it was a DNS misconfiguration. Thank you for reporting that! I fixed it now. Give it 5 minutes and you should be ready to go.
