Can't install - Curl error (18)

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Rocky 9.5
Webmin version 2.202-1

I’m trying to install Webmin on a brand new installation of Rocky. All the dependencies download fine but when I get to the Webmin RPM I get repeated failures.
The command I am entering to install is dnf install webmin
The result everytime I have pasted below. I tried several times yesterday and again this morning and the result is always the same (the number of bytes remaining changes every time). There are four MIRROR lines but I can only post two links as a newbie here.
What is the resolution? I’m wondering whether I can separately download the file and provide it to the system?

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing ‘dnf clean packages’.

Have you using the instruction here

?

Nearly :slight_smile: I had used similar commands (copying my instructions from last time I installed it), which used a different script setup-repos.sh (i.e. without the webmin-). Just tried using the instructions from that page but still the same issue.
I just opened https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/yum/webmin-2.202-1.noarch.rpm on a Windows machine and it also stopped on first download, I clicked retry and it completed.
So I now have the rpm file locally (but not in the right place or on the right PC) - is it possible at all to insert it onto the Linux machine, either in the right place or from a local file.
I have found the command that I need to run: dnf localinstall [package_name].rpm but just wondering about how the system handles an upgrade if I install a specific file rather than letting it download itself?

To answer my own question, I have done some digging and discovered that if I drop the rpm file that I succesfully downloaded on a Windows machine into the /var/cache/dnf/webmin-noarch-4b759b63d8bcb6f2/packages folder and re-run dnf install webmin then dnf skipped trying to download and installed the package.
