I am trying to clone the source code and develope with UE4 (version 4.27.2).
When I run the Setup.bat and update the dependencies, the terminal sent me an error shown below:
Failed to download ‘http://cdn.unrealengine.com/dependencies/UnrealEngine-7319411-858f05a05ed14057b3c3272843308b0a/3b5f05d9ce5ebb8441a688fd107579b6c44038bf ’:Unable to connect to the remote server (WebException) (403) forbidden. (WebException)
I try to use VPN or any way else, but just not work…
Save me please…

              Hi, I am pulling teeth with this error too, especially given that i have been using it with no issue for the past 2 months. I have even tried it on a second pc to no avail. I suspect the server is down but need confirmation from Epic because the error message is unclear.
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
           
          
            
            
              Perhaps this is affecting you:
  
  
    We are actively working to resolve a disruption of service that impacts Unreal Engine users on GitHub. 
Anyone downloading fresh copies of Unreal Engine code from GitHub will experience a disruption of service when running the Setup script that fetches dependencies, indicated by a “Failed to download” error message. Those with existing copies may receive an error when data is unable to refresh. 
We are prioritizing access to Unreal Engine 5.2 and UE5-Main and aim to have them available today, Ma…

              To solve this problem you need to get the file located here: 
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/4.25/Engine/Build/Commit.gitdeps.xml 
Then replace the file in your version of the engine/build/commit.gitdeps.xml.
Note! You need to be signed into github and have joined the Epic Game group to see this page.

              For newbies like me who are trying to compile the UE4 on Ubuntu, and you still get this error, make sure you have Mono installed! I got the same error when I ran ./Setup.sh, but it was because Mono wasn’t installed…

              A bit late in this already solved thread, but if it helps anyone going forward on an old release build, it’s worth looking at the releases pages on github.
For 4.27.2-release for example, the assets listed here https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/tag/4.27.2-release  solve this specific problem and give some legitimacy to the solution.
