download.qt.io is down ?

[KroMignon]

@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:

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

@StenGay I download and installed the Qt 5.12 offline without issues.
https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/
I'm not pretty sure but when you try to install Qt behind a proxy you must configure the settings in the installer, but if not there should be no issues.

Then when the installation continues, there is a screen asking you for what packages you want. In my case I select msvc and mingw tool kits and the mingw compiler.

If you want another version of mingw you could download from here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win32/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe/download

Anyone have an update? I looked at the link that SGaist provided above, but it hasn't been updated.

Seems the problem is even affecting the maintenance tool itself:

[craigmac]

Can anyone explain how to install 6.0.0 from sources on macOS (11 Big Sur)? Apparently 6.0.0+ will not have
off-line installers (for open-source license, at least), so my option is to build from 6.0.0 sources (or wait who knows
how long for the qt online install app to work again).

I've got the sources: the file called "qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.gz" by doing:

cd /tmp
wget https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/official_releases/qt/6.0/6.0.0/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.xz
tar xzvf qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.xz
cd qt-everwhere-src-6.0.0

The README still talks about 5.x installation, and the 'Linux, Mac:' section is saying to do:

./configure --prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
make -j 4

Error I get:

qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0 $ ./configure --prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
+ cd qtbase
+ /tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase/configure -top-level --prefix /tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:227 (message):
  Invalid command line parameter '/tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase'.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:503 (qtConfAddError)

Appreciate any pointers!

@craigmac In our CI build toolchain we basically use aqtinstall (through a github action) to install Qt. We use macOS 10 and Qt 5.15.2 though. The resulting command line is:

python3 -m aqt install 5.15.2 mac desktop -O /Users/runner/work/ecal/Qt

Maybe try to combine that with a mirror and your desired Qt Version and you don't have to compile Qt on your own.

Untested command line (I don't own a mac):
python3 -m aqt install --base https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/ 6.0.0 mac desktop -O /Users/runner/work/ecal/Qt

You should be able to install aqt with pip3 install aqtinstall. Maybe this will help you.

[Mohamab29]

can someone update us if the qt server is up?

[EsmeraldaQuintero]

@Mohamab29
Issue is still present at this time.

[Paper]

@craigmac You can just reference what Homebrew does. Although homebrew is now trying to upgrade to Qt6. By the way, issue still present at this time.

[RunLee]

anybody knows when the server is up?
