Arduino IDE does not load the manager

[zeroprime790]

Hello,

I'm using this board manager the last few months and today a board manager of the arduino IDE upgraded and the esp8266 board manager disappeared. I checked the link in preferences and everything is on place. I tried also to uninstall and reinstall the IDE without any luck.

Currently i'm running in Arduino IDE 1.6.8 and the Arduino AVR Boards upgraded to v1.6.10

I can confirm that issue, the IDE is trying to contact arduino.esp8266.com but it fails.

I am unable to reach http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json from several computers and networks.

Networking issue?

$ host arduino.esp8266.com
arduino.esp8266.com has address 104.131.82.128

It's not just you! http://arduino.esp8266.com looks down from here.

Confirm network issue. http://arduino.esp8266.com is down for me.

The .json file is linked in the footer here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/tag/2.2.0
Unfortunately, urls inside also refer to arduino.esp8266.com

Still confirmed. Are there any alternates?

http://arduino.esp8266.com is up!

yes, I can confirm that. But since the manager was installed how it is related with the URL and became unavailable?
