Cannot use build cache, "A WebException with status SendFailure was thrown." on ubuntu image

I have an appveyor config ready to go, but the first run has to build wxPython which can take a while. I'm wanting to cache ~/.cache/pip so that subsequent runs don't need to build this dependency. However, when I introduce a build cache, "A WebException with status SendFailure was thrown." is displayed and the build fails.

This is the config for the Ubuntu image

  -
    matrix:
      only:
        - image: Ubuntu
    environment:
      APPVEYOR_SSH_KEY: "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDJDW/+oYNGOiPvwuwAL9tc/LQgg58aosIVpMYfepQZ20V+VZnHpZh8IRDA8Jo5xht19p2PksA+hFgqA0kpKtrSkuiWdE8rATQItfk4gf7yB0yGasJGGQZYazy9k/9XtmYkq2HHOOeEqdxvrICddJQ88MLCLT9lJENSUP/YS/yGcjZFXVxE11pTeIcqlCRU+3eYa1v7BeNvXIKNhZoK5orXWrtuH3cy8jrSns/u70aYfJ6B2jA8CnWnDbuvpeQtEY61SQqlKUsSArNa8NAsXj41wr3Ar9gAG9330w7EMTqlutk8HZO35uHI0q5qinUhaQYufPPrVkb2L/N+ZCfu0fnh appveyor"
    cache:
      - ~/.cache/pip
    install:
      - sh: curl -sflL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appveyor/ci/master/scripts/enable-ssh.sh' | bash -e -
      - sh: sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y update
#      - sh: sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install software-properties-common
#      - sh: sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
      - sh: sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install python3.7 python3.7-dev libgtk-3-dev python3-pip
    before_build:
        # directory that will contain the built files
      - sh: cd appimage
      - sh: mkdir build
      - sh: cd build
    build_script:
      - sh: make -f ../Makefile
    after_build:
      - sh: ls -la
    artifacts:
      - path: Pyfa*.AppImage

EDIT:

It seems to continue the build if I put

    cache:
      - packages

But if I do ~/.cache/pip, /home/appveyor/.cache/pip, or even appimage it doesn't work. Now, all the ones that don't work seem to already exist once the repo is clones (the pip cache (which is the thing that I am actually trying to cache), is there by default in the image, while appimage is a directory in my repo)

EDIT#2 apparently it working was a fluke.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pyfa-org/pyfa-f3suj/builds/42953392... this is where I put in packages for the cache (check commit) and it started the build

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pyfa-org/pyfa-f3suj/builds/42953432... this one does the same thing (updates cache to use packages) and it fails

   Seems to be the same issue as

   https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/29931-linux-checkout...
   https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/28132-a-webexception...

   Neither of which provide any actions for me to try

   There is an ongoing uplink issue: https://status.liquidweb.com/incidents/6sl3wdl1ct5k - sorry about that.

   Awesome, thanks! I checked the appveyor status page without noticing anything, but it's good to know the provider so that it can be tracked as well

   It should be working now.
