This is why you don’t see the builds. Cloudflare is blocking your requests. What you can try is, in the settings in connection, add a random character after your user ID; not sure this will change anything as Cloudflare probably checks for your IP and not for the request header. Also, if you use a VPN/Proxy, try to disable it; maybe this triggers Cloudflare security stuff.
I’ll do some research on this Cloudflare challenge stuff to see if we can do something on our side to prevent the request being blocked for some of our users.

no change
there is a message about “blender has temporarily…” but it disappears too fast for me to read it.
I might be having the same issue. The symptom being that 5.2.0 right now only shows up in the “Daily” tab and labeled as “Stable”, not “LTS”.
