stuck on "Acquiring CodeLLDB platform package" when installing in WSL VSCode

[Abu-AM]

OS: Windows 10.0.19043 Build 19043
VSCode version: 1.72.2
CodeLLDB version: 1.8.1
Compiler: gcc

When I install the extension in a WSL remote window and reload, this pops up and is endlessly stuck. Installing it in a normal window seems to work fine but I can't get it to work in WSL.

Network problems? Sorry, I can't debug this for you.
You can also download platform vsix yourself: https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb/releases

It's stuck for me too. Each time on a random number. I think the download files should be put on mirrors too.

This is consistently happening for me also on Linux x64 (Rocky8) and when installing in a remote ssh session. Nothing else fails to download so I doubt the problem is as simple as "networking". But installing the vsix worked fine, so the work around is simple.

The same thing happened to me with latest release.
I restarted my IDE after installing and the download crawled along at ~2% per minute.
But I downloaded the VSIX via my browser in less than 10s.

It's a workaround but there definitely seems like there's something wrong with the code here.

The code is here, please let me know if you spot something.

If you're having trouble with this, try disabling it, reloading VS Windows, and re-enabling it. This worked for me when I had the same issue and couldn't find a solution. I'm posting this in case it helps someone else.
