Epic Games Launcher MD-DL-0 — Install Download Failed

Meaning: Epic Games Launcher could not download the installation package in time — Error MD-DL-0.

MD-DL-0 appears when a game or Unreal Engine install times out during download. Epic's official fix increases the launcher HTTP timeout — also check disk space, VPN, and cache.
