According to https://github.com/web3j/web3j-sokt/blob/92dabb69e0e690a6d1039067598009093d4d826c/src/main/kotlin/org/web3j/sokt/VersionResolver.kt#L48, I added a releases.json file manually under $user.home/.web3j/solc/ from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/web3j/web3j-sokt/master/src/main/resources/releases.json and get through this temporary.

According to https://github.com/web3j/web3j-sokt/blob/92dabb69e0e690a6d1039067598009093d4d826c/src/main/kotlin/org/web3j/sokt/VersionResolver.kt#L48, I added a releases.json file manually under $user.home/.web3j/solc/ from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/web3j/web3j-sokt/master/src/main/resources/releases.json and get through this temporary.

Works for me!
