Comment (by estellnb):
I have now retried it with tor+torsocks on the tampered system and rustup
works there without any problems. Obviously the NSA is selectively
blocking this download for anonymous users. You will also need to try it
from a clean boot medium. If it works well on your base system then it is
likely compromised as well. I had a strange occurence with 'https://static
.rust-lang.org/dist/2019-11-22/rustc-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-
gnu.tar.xz' as well. At first rustup blocked on different clean tor
systems on download of this file. As I discovered it to be easily
downloadable without tor I have invoked torsocks wget on it. wget failed
three times downloading the file and the fourth time it succeeded. From
this time on rustc.xz could be easily downloaded via tor also by rustup.
However since then rustup blocks on another download where you can not
identify the file in question that easily.
