Re: Can't download in the UK

That's probably due to UK court order.

Not probably, but definitely. Here's relevant discussion https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org/issues/3698.

You can just download it from the official website anyway: https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ (it's displayed at the top of forum pages)

And if you use linux, there are alternative to download Bitcoin Core from Snap, Flatpak (unofficial) or your linux distro repository.
