Hi guys,

It seems since the recent server upgrades the OpenWRT download pages are broken - https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/

Is this being fixed or is there an alternate location for now?

Thanks

There used to be a sticky on one of the forums about the broken server, but I can't find it anymore.

Seems to me the whole OpenWrt project is dead-in-the-water, long as we're without a fully functioning download server. I can't install or set up new routers, and I can't update the myriad of routers I'm already running. I also can't run the buildroot system, since it relies on downloading source packages from the broken server.

Are there workarounds for this situation? How about a big sticky on the openwrt homepage describing the problem, the status, and possible alternatives?

No issues reaching https://downloads.openwrt.org/ for me, as of now.

I'd however like to report a similar problem.
On the opening pages of https://downloads.openwrt.org/, download links are provided for historic releases, on http://old-releases.openwrt.org/

Those links don't work. Reason: nslookup says that old-releases resolves to 127.0.0.1

Thanks for your work guys. This is an "in case you forgot" message, not an "help me I'm dying" one.

Hi All,

Snapshot download also does not work: 404 not found.

Does anybody handle this issue???

Hi,

I understand that OpenWrt is a community project driven by people who do great work in their free time. I highly appreciate it.

Please give us some information what's going on in the background:

Who is working on the server problems?
Where is the work coordinated?
Is there any plan when the servers will come back online?

Do you need any kind of help?

Have a nice day

A number of people have offered to host mirrors I would also throw my name into that pot. The downloads have been down for 2 days now which is at best annoying and at worst disruptive.

use the mirror
ftp://ftp.stw-bonn.de/pub/openwrt/

u are the hero!!! I needed a packages and looked after every day... now I can proceed the installation!
stas2z for president

Great thanks to stas2z!
You are also welcome to ftp://benken.ru/ftp.stw-bonn.de for the clone!

Hello,

I am trying to update a VeraPlus controller. Anybody know where I can get ~/barrier_breaker/14.07/ramips/mt7621? It's not on either mirror.

Also as an FYI, the new download directory once the server comes back up will be http://old-releases.openwrt.org as reported in https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=62967.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have barrier_breaker installed in my router.
I am getting 404 error while installing multiwan package.

For opkg update also getting 404 error.

Hi guys,

Since some days, downloads are now available using httpS only, I dunno why ... Adjust your opkg source lists !

Sadly, that https advice does not help people looking for AA12.09 or BB14.07 downloads, as only Chaos Calmer 15.05 downloads seem to be available at the half-repaired/upgraded download server.

Both trunk snapshots and older deprecated releases (B10.03, AA12.09, BB14.07 etc.)  are missing. For those the best place seems to be the unofficial mirror mentioned a few messages above from here.

Trunk users seem to have trouble with ftp as the protocol for opkg feeds, but luckily that site seems to support http, too:
http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/pub/openwrt/

it's listed here, bro

I also submitted a ticket about the dead servers at https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/21942

I am hopeful that someone that's responsible for bringing the servers back on-line might post a note either to this list, or to the OpenWrt Forum -> News with updates, expected/hoped-for times to repair, etc.

Update: There's a note indicating that they're working on it: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 18#p313118

Update: There's a note indicating that they're working on it: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 18#p313118

Still not a word about the /sources directory, which is needed to build packages for openwrt. None of the mirrors contain that directory.

Can anyone shed some light on this - how do we build images without a working /sources directory?

Can someone post their opkg.conf file with the mirror for designated driver snapshot? I can't get the mirror to work properly.

******EDIT*******

Nevermind, for anyone else wondering how to change it.

1. cd /etc/opkg
2. I recommend to, cp distfeeds.conf distfeeds.conf.default   &  cp distfeeds.conf distfeeds.conf.mirror (for backup)
3. nano distfeeds.conf.mirror

Delete the default lines, and add (adjust to you openwrt version):

src/gz designated_driver_base http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … kages/base
src/gz designated_driver_kernel http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … ges/kernel
src/gz designated_driver_luci http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … kages/luci
src/gz designated_driver_management http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … management
src/gz designated_driver_packages http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … s/packages
src/gz designated_driver_routing http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … es/routing
src/gz designated_driver_telephony http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … /telephony
# src/gz designated_driver_targets http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/snapshots/trunk/ … es/targets

4.  cp distfeeds.conf.mirror distfeeds.conf
5. Lastly, opkg update

Save the file. I recommend backng up those files to usb storage.
