File stuck in loading (was not happening before)

Hello, I used IPFS to store an audio file and then linked to the audio file through a QR code. It was working perfectly until yesterday. Now, when I try to use the QR code or the link in my browser, it just stays loading forever “waiting for ipfs.io”.

The ipfs link is https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTwvrLw8tCyXJvjYcHPHbZjU5i52zxQhst1BLiWsazwNQ?filename=Me%20Time%20spoken%20word%20performance%20mix.mp3

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is the IPFS instance where you stored the audio file still running?

The ipfs.io gateway is not ensured to cache content forever. If it is waiting, it would mean it cannot find it on the network anymore.

Hector, first of all, thank you for responding so quickly. I’m not sure if you did something, but it’s working now! So if you did, double thank you.
