Note that "deb.devuan.org" resolves to a collection of different IP
addresses, where the software (including wget) picks one to be the
server it interacts with. It's thus necessary that you also tell which
IP address is concerned in order to pinpoint which server has an
issue.

Generally thought there was some disk error report just yesterday from
one of the servers, and maybe you were one of the few lucky ones to
happen to interact with that server during their disk problem.

Thus, the advice her is: try again.
