Cabal update: Failed to download

Despite repeated attempts, Cabal does not update. Why is Cabal not working properly? What should I do? The last update dates back to 89 days.

Based on this git issue there's a workaround by using

 cabal --http-transport=plain-http update

instead. (forcing cabal not to use powershell's webclient)
