Cannot download Freetype from alicache

Dear all,
I’m trying to build O2 on a CENTOS 7 PC (it is actually an FLP), but the compilation fails with the following error:

ERROR: GET https://alicache.cern.ch//TARS/slc7_x86-64/FreeType/ failed: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='alicache.cern.ch', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=15)

It looks like the system cannot get FreeType from alicache since yesterday (while it could get GCC-Toolchain, for example).

Is there any issue with the alicache?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Diego
