Connection errors could be due to Github trottling. I would suggest to use: https://raw.githack.com/ (with CDN)

I'm having the same problem since upgrading to Emacs 27 on Mac OS X 10.14.5. This failed data-hashtables connection happens regularly and leaves paradox in an unsettled state, and many of the other connections (e.g., to melpa) fail regularly but not always.

I've recompiled all the binaries for the package and restarted multiple times. I haven't had a chance yet to try it with -Q, but the only thing that has changed since it worked flawlessly was the upgrade to emacs 27.

P.S. When I do

(url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Malabarba/paradox/data/data-hashtables")

the data is retrieved without problem. When I do that and leave the buffer in tact, starting paradox-list-packages works as it should. So the OP's original problem seems to be causing all my problems as well. I'm happy to provide more information; let me know what you'd like to see.

Hi @Malabarba

any chance you can fix change the link
from:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Malabarba/paradox/data/data-hashtables
to:
https://raw.githack.com/Malabarba/paradox/data/data-hashtables

This uses a CDN and it avoids the error.
