download.qt.io is down ?

[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:

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.

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?

Quoting Tuukka:

Hi,
 
Status update of the problem with open-source downloads: Last night we finally got a disk big enough for the packages from the service provider. Most of the data has been transferred throughout the night with a few last things still being uploaded to the new virtual server. After the data transfer is complete we start testing and validation of the data and the system. Target is to enable first the online installer, then the offline packages and finally the achieve of old releases.
 
Yours,
 
                Tuukka

@jsulm Yea thanks, I did that and finally got it working.

[StenGay]

@Janus-Li Yea I finally got it working, thanks! Confused the hell out of me when people kept telling me to "Install qt" lol

[kkoehne]

Parts of download.qt.io is live again (and online installer should work).

[kkoehne]

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

--prefix

Use -prefix (no double --) .
For more advise, see also https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git and https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/macos-building.html

[mzimmers]

@kkoehne I can confirm that it does work -- I just downloaded Design Studio 2.

Thanks to all who worked hard to get us back in the water...

[JoLu]

is there any idea when this issue will be solved?

[SGaist]

https://www.qt.io/blog/open-source-downloads-working-again

Archives of old releases will be available again starting next week.

[andrestoga]

Well, I'm still getting the following error:

[jsulm]

@andrestoga Strange. It worked for me yesterday evening.

[JKSH]

@andrestoga Your download started, which means that your PC was able to establish a connection with download.qt.io. However, the connection broke before it was able to complete.

Please try again: Are you able to get past the error? Or does it keep stopping at 22%?
