Windows 10: Where is `nuget.org`? It's down!

Hi,Today is Wednesday, 25 June 2025, and the time is now approximately 1730 Mountain time Denver. I believe `nuget.org` just went down. I wanted to alert Microsoft so they can fix it and bring it back up.No matter what browser I utilize, I cannot access `https://www.nuget.org`. I was using it about ten 10 minutes ago, and it worked fine, but then the browser reported "500 Internal Server Error The request has timed out" and then I cannot request `https://www.nuget.org` again.Please fix it. Thank you.Regards,Brian Hart

What are the pros and cons of publishing NuGet packages publicly and privately?

Hi Michael,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Basically Public indicates anyone can download your package and private are only available within your organization,

Quote from the link below:

1

Public packages are made available to all developers globally through nuget.org as described in this article (requires NuGet 4.1.0+).

2

Private packages are available to only a team or organization, by hosting them either a file share, a private NuGet server, Azure Artifacts, or a third-party repository such as myget, ProGet, Nexus Repository, and Artifactory.

how to change .nuget folder location

Hi H

It depends on how and where that Nuget folder is referenced, are you a software developer and that Nuget folder is used in a Programming IDE like Visual Studio, or are those Nuget Packages just used for software installed on your PC?
