Seems like some parts archive.org now giving: 500 Internal Server Error.

I was able to download VS2010 using aria2c locally (using torrent), but did not work in GHA in my fork (seems like it depends on mirror chosen for downloading torrent file or something).
Regular (fallback used by curl) link giving me "500 Internal Server Error" also locally.

Hopefully this will be temporary issue. I don't think we can do anything from our side... (Apart from waiting and trying to reschedule later...)
