download.qt.io is down ?

[FreddoFrog]

Appears to be general issues resurfacing again at this time ! I am unable to download "meta" information for updates or Add/Remove Services !

[jukka]

Just released Qt Online installer 4.0.1-1 has now option to specify the mirror for the open source installation.
See https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

The issue is primarily MaintenanceTool ... If it cannot pull down any lists then one cannot update ;-) Thanks for the installer tips

@linhnobi hi and welcome to devnet,

Looks like a mirror issue. Please try a different one.

[linhnobi]

@SGaist Ths for your help but I tried almost every version but It's still not working. Can you give me some advice for which version I can download?

@linhnobi said in download.qt.io is down ?:

@SGaist Ths for your help but I tried almost every version but It's still not working. Can you give me some advice for which version I can download?

@SGaist meant, try to download from a different mirror (https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource ), not download a different version

[linhnobi]

@JKSH I chose the first link in

But I can't find the download button in

[jsulm]

@linhnobi Your links are not reachable.
Try some other mirrors until you find one which works...

[linhnobi]

@jsulm I just found some links in
and I just clicked and it download the xml file for me. Is that right??

[jsulm]

@linhnobi Again: the links you're posting do NOT work!
All you need to do is to tell installer to use another mirror, just like "Selecting a mirror for opensource" section in the link from @JKSH shows. The link (also from @JKSH ) https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/ provides you a list of available mirrors. So, please do that...

[linhnobi]

@jsulm Ok, I understand, ths very much !!!!

[Gery]

@jsulm I also tried to download Qt using all mirrors, but no luck.Its down since three days

This is quite a problem. The official site, for almost 5 years, installer won't work at all because of that error. It's really hard to believe actually.

For info: download.qt.io has been intermittently down for me for the past few days, breaking CI builds relying on aqtinstall.

Error messages are:

==============================Suggested follow-up:==============================
* Check your internet connection

And the same thing is happening again - there has also been problems with the cache system that the Git Hub action jurplel/install-qt-action which uses aqtinstall has been using which was shutdown in the last couple of days (an alternative has been put in place) - see: https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action/issues/283#issuecomment-2807825345 . One thing that makes things awkward is that only the download.qt.io site has the SHA256 hashes so it is not possible to validate the mirrors copies (they only carry SHA1s) without contacting upstream and if that is playing up it messes everyone up..
