I tried all morning to install a package using conda install conda-forge::Package:
(py39) C:>conda install conda-forge::fuzzywuzzy
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed
CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json>

Sometimes, it made some headway downloading the 1st package before failing:
Downloading and Extracting Packages
openssl-3.0.14 | 7.8 MB | #####################################5 | 49%
A different syntax worked the first time: conda install -c conda-forge fuzzywuzzy. The progress output was distinctly different. I saw no “Downloading and Extracting Packages” and no monitoring of the download progress for openssl-3.0.14.
What is the difference between the two methods of installing from conda-forge?
conda install conda-forge::fuzzywuzzyconda install -c conda-forge fuzzywuzzy
If I knew they were different, I might have saved a good portion of the day.
