the first line i changed to https because http gets 404
since i can't update it how the hell i can install sssl?
The server was probably down for a short while, it works for me using http. You can also wget the ssl package and ca-bundle to tmp without https and install manually.
I've only found only one reference on the Internet related to this IP...and I began to find it odd that out of these two threads, and the one I found...2 mention Chaos Calmer...all three share in common...it's an issue with an older OpenWrt version.
I just removed the German mirror from the mirrors list because there is no lede or openwrt directory there. Maybe it has just been removed, and that's why some people get an error?
There are also http, https and ftp links for various sites. You are supposed to use those with the appropriate subpath in the repository file. There is no system for donations. Donations page
I suggest you download the files needed to use https to a PC using https and scp them to the router. If at all possible you should upgrade it to 17 og 18 for security. 15 hasn't been maintained for ages.
Per, I thank you for your efforts. I understand it isn't much used however, I finally found the working official mirrors and all versions are here at https://wiki.openwrt.org/about/mirrors
Thanks again.
