Is your flash device out of space?  What about issues with your ISP?  As an alternative, you could always use the USB Flash Creator to manually upgrade your flash (https://unraid.net/download).

Hi.  Unfortunately, I'm remotely managing this device.  No, I believe the usb is barely used.  I've since changed the default DNS from ISP to 1.1.1.1, and still the same outcome.

are you using a proxy or some form of ad blocking, if so try disabing it

 

[jang430]

No, I am not.  Other plugins are updating.

Why does your sig say 6.5.3 then?

Hi trurl, my machine is working fine.  I set up another unit for a relative.  It's the one with the problem.  Is there any way I can download it manually, and expand the file to the related folder?  Which folder?

Backup flash drive

Prepare flash as a new install

Copy config folder from backup

Boot

Are everything that's important inside the config folder?  That's the only folder to copy?  Any particular way to backup the flash drive?  You mean I use the same flash drive so I no longer need a new license file right? 

 

Thanks!

Everything specific to a particular installation is in the config folder on flash, unless you have intentionally created additional folders for some reason. unRAID itself will not create or write to any other flash folders.

 

The license .key file is also in that same config folder.

 

Just take the flash drive to a PC and make a backup copy of the config folder to restore to the new install.

Are you in China? I'm in China and have the same problem. I'm pretty sure the AWS server is blocked by China's internet censorship.

 

EDIT: I connected my router to a US based VPN server and was able to successfully update the Unraid OS, confirming the above.
