Hello, Since about two days ago, the .gov zone file on czds.icann.org appears to be empty: $ gzcat gov.txt.gz ; Transfer failed. The last working zone file was 2026-07-13. If anybody could take a look at this, that'd be appreciated. Thanks, -Jan
Dear Jan, The issue has been fixed. Please try downloading the .gov zone file again.

Hi Jan, We have verified that the updated .gov zone file is available across all CZDS mirrors, and we are able to download it successfully via both the web interface and API. Could you please share the output of a HEAD request for the .gov zone file, particularly the Last-Modified and Content-Length headers? --Victor On 7/15/26, 10:01 AM, "Jan Schaumann" <jschauma@netmeister.org <mailto:jschauma@netmeister.org>> wrote: Victor Figueroa Vazquez <victor.figueroa@icann.org <mailto:victor.figueroa@icann.org>> wrote:

Hmm, no luck. Tried downloading again and still the same 39 byte gov.txt.gz file. -Jan

Might have been a caching issue? I just now fetched it again via the browser and got a 39 byte file, then tried again immediately afterwards and got a 482798 byte file (47411 lines), so looks like it's all good now on my end as well. Thanks for fixing it! -Jan
