Though I would appreciate that "https://nim-lang.org/nimble/packages.json" is updated, which would greatly improve my user experience. raw.githubusercontent.com sucks because of my SSL settings.

Yep. GitHub sometimes stops working for me as well.

I would also appreciate having "https://nim-lang.org/nimble/packages.json" as a fallback option because my connection to that github domain can be unreliable sometimes.
Issues like nim-lang/nimble#1149 keep popping up. One way or another, we should alleviate the pain. Finally, we should consider nim-lang/nimble#1141 (comment) as an option using some kind of cron script to update https://nim-lang.org/nimble/packages.json. It's turning into a really annoying problem.

Shoot, I was counting each line like a package. Nope, 26K packages were NOT indeed gone, the number is probably smaller, but still significant. |

@xTrayambak Hello, with the great help of @PMunch, https://nim-lang.org/nimble/packages.json is up to date (853 kb now)! Eventually, there will be a script to update it automatically. It would be appreciated if you could add the URL back. |

That's great to hear! I'll work on it tomorrow if that's fine. |

No problem, thank you very much! |
