If you downloaded 78.5.1 prior to this announcement, please download it again. There was a build issue before release. The official 78.5.1 release has a PackageVersion of 78.5.1.1 in appinfo.ini. The file version when you hover over the installer in Explorer is the same.

They're working here without issue. Which language are you having issues with?

All of them!
Don't work neither with Firefox nor Chrome (both latest versions).
Just tried and it did work with Opera.
Looks like a problem switching to Sourceforge when using Firefox/Chrome.

Update: just went directly to Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/) using Firefox and was able to download from there.

It's fine here in both Firefox and Chrome. Most likely your local SF mirror is having issues.
