AmiUpdate problem amigaos4.1 FE

Hi,
a few days it does not work well amiupdate with Amigaos4.1FE1,
My copy is authentic, I am registered in the Hyperion forum but I can not remember my password anymore
I have restored a backup, but the problem remains.
Are there any problems with the servers?
Or is it my problem?
Thanks for every suggestion.

I am having similar problems. Takes forever to check for own update. When gets past that 40+ seconds later, slow connecting to www.amiupdate.net. Downloads from update.amigos.net (hyperion?) just fine. I am assuming everything else it timing out.

@mritter0

Same problem here.

Thanks for the answers,
I thought I had modified something, I wait patiently.
Thank you!

Same problem here

@all
I just tried AmiUpdate and it stalled for several minutes waiting to see if there was an update for AmiUpdate. When it finally connected, it listed an update for MUI5. When I selected "Install", it installed MUI-5.0-2018R1-os4.lha over the MUI-5.0-2017R3-os4.lha update I already had. It seems a little confusing to restart the archive revision numbers every year. AmiUpdate didn't connect to any other servers.

Yep I confirm, same problem here

Probably slowly dying like the rest

Like everything internet, there are many links in the chain. I'm sure it will sort itself out in time.

Same problem here..

Still the same, taking several minutes...

And top of that can't find any new updates at all, even though there is an updated version of program recorder in the amiupdate database?!

@Marko

Check the log. Did the connection succeed at all?

If the connection times out without succeeding, AmiUpdate will in the GUI just say there were no updates.

Best regards,

Niels

There is a problem with the redirection. It has been reported to the hosters, so hopefully it will get fixed soon. It is intermittent though, sometimes it works, most times not.

I suggest to do as mentioned earlier, and use the "amiupdate.codebench.co.uk" server for public updates for now, and turn off the self-update feature until I release the next version which will allow you to set the server to check for AmiUpdate updates (rather than always trying www.amiupdate.net).

When the update is released, it will appear in the main update list, so you won't miss it.

@nbache

Ok thanks, no it did not, www.amiupdate.net failed...

@Rigo

Oh, ok amiupdate.codebench.co.uk works as expected, problem solved now, thank you

You'll be pleased to hear I have released version 2.44, which introduces a configurable server for self-update. Go to the server tab in the prefs, and select "amiupdate.codebench.co.uk", then check the box for "Use this server for self-update".

@Rigo

Hi, thanks for your work,
For me, the update to version 2.43 ----> 2.44 does not work,
When he finds it, he enters endless loop and keeps asking me to upgrade to version 2.44.
I chose as suggested, amiupdate.codebench.co.uk
Thanks for every suggestion and for your work.

@Rigo

Where would one be able to download said update?

Self update doesn't work as AmiUpdate doesn't mention any available updates (2.43 here), also there is no manual update link mentioned.

Same problem here. AmiUpdate tries to update itself from 2.43 to 2.44 (and saves the new AmiUpdate archive in a folder), installs, but after restart, ist still 2.43 and tries to Update again. So i checked the downloaded und unpacked archive, and voilà: version 2.43. Seems to be an old archive that AmiUpdate downloads and installs...
