download.qt.io is down ?

[cpecue]

@nadim-asad I was able to flick on the link and download one of the versions. I am not sure if there is anything else to do.

@nadim-asad Thanks! That's the update that I was looking for. For the lazy:

@nadim-asad They say "or just use the online installer"... That doesn't work...

@nadim-asad said in download.qt.io is down ?:

@cpecue Online Installer will keep failing with "Cannot retrieve remote tree ." as it cannot even access the mirrorlist which is located in download.qt.io. Whoever made that comment didn't check before commenting.

You can make the online installer "work" with the command line if you're running Linux (don't know for Windows/MacOS, but it's easy to check).

Can confirm! Tried yesterday afternoon and this morning, and the entire thing is (still) completely unresponsive even to ping.

$ ping download.qt.io

Pinging download.qt.io [77.86.229.90] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

@Blaz Qt infrastructure has a main failure.

On Qt Mailings Tuuka Turunen has written:

Update on the status. The downtime is caused by severe disk system failure at our cloud service provider. The service provider has notified us that they will not be able to repair the disk systems during today.

Two important servers related to open-source package delivery are affected (download frontend and delivery system master). Mirrors are not affected, so online installer works and also offline packages can be downloaded directly from the mirrors. Commercial package distribution is done via a different system, which is not affected by this.

You can try to use those mirrors:

• https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/
• https://www.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/download.qt-project.org/
• https://ftp.fau.de/qtproject/

Thanks, @KroMignon. Note that the mirrors are only useful if you're downloading an Offline installer (Qt <= 5.14.2). The Online installer needs to connect to download.qt.io so it won't work.

[Blaz]

@JKSH Oh, it's only for offline installers, got it. I was frantically looking up which of the parameters to MaintenanceTool.exe were the ones to pass one of these URLs to as none of these (--addRepository <URI,...>, --addTempRepository <URI,...>, and --setTempRepository <URI,...>) worked.

Here the offline Qt 6.0.0 Source Packages:

[kkoehne]

Problem persists, see also https://www.qt.io/blog/problem-with-open-source-downloads .

[SwatGuard]

Issue is still present at this time.

[NC NC]

it's still down, I was thinking that it was my fault until I found this forum, @SGaist @kkoehne do you have any confirmation about when will it be back online ?

[SGaist]

Based on the latest information published on the mailing list, it's still unknown. The provider has suffered a catastrophic failure and has to recreate lots of machines. The Qt Company is not alone being affected.

[StenGay]

I've installed qt creator with the offline installer but it asks me to select a version and it says "No suitable kits found." so I can't open or finish my school project that is due to tomorrow, what should I do to get it working? I've tried getting this program to work for 4 days now, I don't understand why we can't use visual studio instead.....

[jsulm]

@StenGay You have to install Qt also. And a compiler (on Windows select Qt for MinGW).

[Janus Li]

@StenGay I'm also new to Qt but as far as I know Qt creator and Qt are different things. So what you have to install are Qt and a working compiler( e.g. MinGW).

BTW I think this is a perfect excuse to have your ddl extended lol. Just slap the blog on your teacher('s face).

[FlorianReimold]

For the moment you can install Qt from any mirror using aqtinstall (=> Another Qt Installer), which is actually meant for automatic installations from command line. It won't install QtCreator, though. Only libraries and binaries for building your project. Check out the aqtinstall github page for a manual: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

1. Download Python and check "Add to PATH"

2. pip install aqtinstall

3. Install Qt with aqt:

C: & cd C:\ & mkdir C:\Qt

python -m aqt install --base https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/ --outputdir c:\Qt 5.15.2 windows desktop win64_msvc2019_64
