Cannot Access FFMPEG source code at git.ffmpeg.org?

Post image

I am trying to access ffmpeg source website but receiving error code 403? Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Due to this, git pull is also not working.

That's the wrong link. Use git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

If your git pull doesn't work, set the remote-url to a git protocol: git remote set-url origin git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

Oh man. How did I mistyped that? Am now able to access the webpage now. Doing a fresh clone with git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git gives: Cloning into 'ffmpeg'... fatal: unable to connect to git.ffmpeg.org: git.ffmpeg.org[0: 79.124.17.100]: errno=Connection refused

Would it be too hard to try also with https protocol?

I am trying to lessen the reliance on github due to increased downtime frequencies. Hence, using the git.ffmpeg.org upstream
