Diagnostics:

Printing redirectUrls property of the error gives the following result:

[ 'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz',
  'https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz' ]

It is weird because curl https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.10.1-src.tar.gz succeeds with no redirects. Any suggestions?

It seems to be related with proxy. I actually use a local proxy server during installation. After removing the proxy environment, the error disappeared. I've submitted an issue for download module.

However, I suggest directly using https: version of the source pack download URL instead of the currently http: version since the redirect is 301 Moved Permanently.
