V3 Plugin Download failing or Layer 8 Congestion?

Hey Community,

I am struggling to add Fail2Ban to my Traefik services. Currently, I receive a download failure message in the Docker logs.

Example as follows:

Any hints, or could this be a v3 vs. v2 issue as mentioned in other threads?

Anyhow, thanks for any helpful advice in advance.

Cheers
