Also having this when building curl:x64-windows, looks like repo.msys2.org is down from the errors I'm getting? Tried manually visiting the site in a browser, no luck there, appears it really is down.

Yes, same for many packages:

There is a notification about troubles on https://www.msys2.org
"The primary download server is currently (since Oct 2nd) down."

It is now fixed by #13889.
