Thinking it might be a 2020 issue, I did not pursue it and decided to wait for the 2021 distribution. Hence this note.

Howdy,

Hmmm... all those links seem to be fine on my version of TeX Live 2021 installed by MacTeX-2021 along with TeXShop 4.62.

Did you actually use the MacTeX-2021 installer package or install some other way?

Good Luck,
