• Description:
  • I ran luarocks install moonpick. The same error happened for luarocks install moonscript
  • My browser can successfully download all the files (it's not using a proxy/VPN, so I can confirm that I don't need to set that up for Luarocks)

My browser can successfully download all the files (it's not using a proxy/VPN, so I can confirm that I don't need to set that up for Luarocks)

That's odd, since this error looks like a connectivity issue (typically a DNS problem). Perhaps your browser is using a different DNS configuration than what LuaRocks is using (which should be the system default). I don't know enough about Windows to be able to provide suggestions on how to diagnose this.

I had the same problem after reinstalling wsl.
Deleting the folder %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\LuaRocks\Cache resolved the issue.
