Problem downloading Edge insider browser

When i download the web installer for Edge canary and then run it, it starts downloading at full speed and the loading bar fills nearly till the end but when it is about to be completed, it goes back to the start and the download restarts. this happens all over again and again, like it's stuck in a loop.

i don't know why this is happening, wasn't happening before.

I tested it on latest Windows 10 1909, on my host OS and Windows Sandbox which is a clean installation.

    MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log can be in one of two places:

    • %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log -> System-wide install
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log -> Per-user install (e.g. Canary)

    An easy way to get to it is to open up a new Windows Explorer window and copy one of the two addresses to the address bar. E.g.:
