Has anyone been experiencing issues installing modules from PSGallery?

I was installing modules on my new work computer and kept getting error messages indicating the either the source location was invalid.

For trying to install the VMware.PowerCLI module, I get this error message:

```
PS C:\Users\michael.valdes> install-module VMware.PowerCli
WARNING: Source Location 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk/11.0.0.10334495' is not valid.

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PackageFailedInstallOrDownload,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage
```

For the MSOnline module on Windows Powershell 5.1 I was getting this error message:

```
PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-Module MSOnline -Force
WARNING: Source Location 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/MSOnline/1.1.183.17' is not valid.
PackageManagement\Install-Package : Package 'MSOnline' failed to download.

kage
```

I tried removing removing the repository from my PS configuration by issuing a:

```
Unregister-PSRepository -Name PSGallery
```

followed by a

```
Register-PSRepository -Default
```

but when I attempt to install the modules again I get the same errors.

For now I just copied the modules from another computer and placed them in my local module paths. I just thought those errors were weird since I have never seen them before.

What is the version of PowerShellGet you are using.

**Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name PowerShellGet**
