Description

The microG F-Droid repo (https://microg.org/fdroid/repo) fails to connect very often, although strangely the archive repo (https://microg.org/fdroid/archive) does not exhibit this problem. I have to keep forcing F-Droid to connect the main repo until it finally succeeds.

Research direction

Start by comparing the main repository endpoint at https://microg.org/fdroid/repo with the archive endpoint at https://microg.org/fdroid/archive and reproduce the connection failure. Inspect how these endpoints are served; done means the main repository connects reliably without repeated retries, matching the archive repository's behavior.
