Flakiness while trying to download Nodejs during Presto Build in CI

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.15.0:install-node-and-yarn (install node and yarn) on project presto-ui: Could not download Node.js: Could not download https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.20.2/node-v18.20.2-linux-x64.tar.gz: Premature end of Content-Length delimited message body (expected: 44,323,820; received: 9,609,216) -> [Help 1]

I have seen this flakiness more frequently over the last week.

Some examples:

I've seen this too. Trying to embed the node build system into the Maven system is indeed painful. We need an improved com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin or an entirely different way to build all this that only downloads tools from Maven Central.
