Did you do a retest since the problem occurrence?
The direct link to the ZIP seems fine and returns a valid ZIP with the NodeJS binaries

The "Debug Output" section of the issue explicitly states you should paste the output of nvm debug. Please provide that output.

I suspect a permission issue. If you can successfully install node but not use it, it usually means your user account doesn't have permission to use the underlying mklink utility. The nvm debug output helps identify permission issues so they can be resolved.
