PortableAppsUpdater can‘t download any app from time to time

I guess it come from some network parameters
suggestion:
Add options about network error-controling such as ’timeout‘ ,’number of retry‘ ,’pause between connection‘ and so on

60 seconds

The PA.c Updater uses Windows' internet component settings for timeouts. By default, these are set to 60 seconds. They are contained within the registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

i tried but didnot work.

i tried but didnot work.
okey , perhaps not the cause
Windows' internet component ? Could it be because of Internet Explorer?
so i tried IE mode in Edge and IE mode stop redirection to real url .
Could this be the problem?

Redirection

If you manually turned off automatic redirection within Internet Settings, it'll break everything.

The root cause appears to be

The root cause appears to be something other than this. I did some digging to look for answer.
portableappsUpdater might use InetC and InetC uses WinINet
I can't confirm whether iwr also uses WinINet under the hood. In fact, it seems that iwr doesn't handle HTTP redirection from Cloudflare(sourceforge.net) as it should. But I tesed iwr with Apache httpd and there were no issues.
curl.exe had no issues with both cloudfare and my Apache httpd
i geuss portableapps might concerned libcurl plugin of nullsoft is unofficial
