The specific discussion on this is off topic and should be kept at the github issue. Yes, it is not online at that url anymore. The windows builds are on Simon's Jenkins for now. But for the normal nightlies it just does makepkg and copydlls.sh https://jenkins.simonrichter.eu/ tir. 12. mar. 2019

Is it just me or in the ci server down? http://ci.kicad-pcb.org/ I was going to investigate the current build configuration for the windows nightly installers. seems it might be possible with a few lines added to the nsis script. https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-winbuilder/blob/master/nsis/install.n

AFAI CERN has private cluster using Ceph that has an S3 api but its not AWS. It's also not as simple as creating a torrent because there still needs to be a primary seed server. On Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 6:23 PM Andrew Lutsenko wrote: > I think torrents are the best solution. > Even when servers fu

We are talking about the download speed for nightly builds right now. (At least that was the problem i reported) I doubt torrents would help here as i highly doubt nightly builds will ever reach the critical mass required for torrents to be effective. On 10/03/19 04:09, Andrew Lutsenko wrote: I

If you have to choose just one method of distribution, then sure, torrents are not the best. But there is absolutely no reason to stay away from them since there is no such limitation, we can have both mirrors and magnet links. Good portion of tech savy people will choose p2p download because it is

Mirrors are better. Torrents are either not allowed on some networks or people don't know how to use them or don't care to install the required software, some of which is not malware/ad-free. So my suggestion is to stay away from torrents. On Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 3:23 PM Andrew Lutsenko wrote: >

I think torrents are the best solution. Even when servers function normally on each release there is a stampede to download new binary and things slow down to a crawl. I don't know if moving to CERN servers (AWS servers?) will help but torrents certainly would. It's as simple as creating a torrent

Thanks. If we are having issues with the CERN download speeds (although it is not entirely evident that is the issue) it would be good to have alternate mirrors for users to try if they are having issues with the main download server. On 3/9/2019 11:27 AM, Mark Roszko wrote: > I believe Nick was

Hi, it seems that some of our users struggle to download nightly builds for windows from the cern servers right now. Is this an expected sideeffect of the server move or is there currently a problem? The original report was made over here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/window-nightlies-down
