The issue is caused by a time-out in the call to raw.githubusercontent.com that internally pulls the details from this file. : RELEASES but while call goes into time-out we don't get any data. After exploring around, it appears that DNS issues are the main reason why such calls fail. I found the solution by altering the DNS server address(changed it to 8.8.8.8). Although it didn't seem to be a long-term fix, it seemed to work for me at the time.

Here is the discussion concern to raw.githubusercontent.com : 32889

Hope this is helpful👍🏻
