Title: Rockbox Utility won't download themes
Post by: bloodbath on November 30, 2007, 11:43:59 AM

I have just upgraded to the latest Rockbox Utility (1.0.3), but cannot download any themes.  I receive the following error:

"Network Error: Request Aborted.  Please check your network and proxy settings."

After I close the message and try to exit Rockbox Utility, it crashes and Windows XP must close the process.  I do not see this error when downloading daily builds or fonts.  I have not changed any settings on Rockbox Utility or my computer.  

Any clues?  Thanks.

The themes site is going through changes, this function of RBUtility is broken until either a new version of RBUtility is released, or the themes site is updated.

Thanks for the update.  I figured it wasn't the utility, but wanted to be sure.  Thanks again.

We could commit a change to RBUtility now, but we think it is a bit better to do things right and make all versions of RBUtility work.

The current version (1.0.4) displays a http 404 message during it's attempt to install the fonts package. The rest of the install (and downloads) goes without problems. Maybe the location of the font package is changed on the site?

The themes are retrieved from a different site, which is currently partially off line (iPod Video is affected by this).  The site is in the process of being moved, and will be back up when everything is working.

Although the fonts shouldn't be affected by that...

The issue likely stemmed from one of the download mirrors acting up.  Since some time has passed, does it work now?

No change, I just got the same message while installing the fonts:
Downloading file rockbox-fonts.zip
Download error: received HTTP error 404

It looks like it is fixed now  :)
