Description
Describe the bug
For quite a long time, tc.downloadTool (@actions/tool-cache) has worked fine. Now, intermittent failures are logged:
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 185.199.109.133:443
Not sure if this is a problem here (improper retry logic) or a temporary CDN issue. Most of the url's are files stored in GitHub releases.
