Can confirm this has been an issue over the last 1-2 days. I have people in Australia (Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne) and New Zealand with multiple carriers/connection types, as well as our Github CI continues to fail.

For us, the final error is:

```auto
ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: The read operation timed out

```

Let me know if you need any more info to troubleshoot.
