Go-ethereum: Download page has a breakdown?

[ShawnyXiao]

Download page can't get bnaries and mobile libraries. Snapshot is as follow.

[karalabe]

Works for me now. Could you check again? How long before this error appears?

[ShawnyXiao]

Still can't work for me now. It is always loading and then pop a prompt "Failed to load latest release!", even if I switch my browser from Chrome to Edge. The whole page is like this:

[karalabe]

That is odd. Are you by any chance blocking GitHub? As I see it from the image above, you managed to correctly retrieve the packages from our Azure storage, just the "latest release" is missing, which is pulled from the GitHub APIs.

Please check whether you can access https://api.github.com/repos/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/latest

[ShawnyXiao]

When I access https://api.github.com/repos/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/latest, I can get a JSON like:

The RPC did not incur any backwards incompatible changes. If you do find something, it's a bug, please report it.*\r\n\r\nUntil now the `go-ethereum` codebase assumed that accounts are equivalent to individual private keys stored on disk inside a keystore. To support hardware and HD wallets however, this invariant breaks, requiring a new API with different constructs and mechanisms. We've tried our best to introduce this new API in such a way that it's trivial to transition to it for anyone already using `go-ethereum` as a library from Go or Java/ObjC/Swift.\r\n\r\nThe first breaking change is that while previously the `accounts.Manager` (or `AccountManager` on mobile) was a glorified keystore, now it changed its scope to handle `Wallet` objects, which may contain multiple accounts, as well as may be backed by different backends (keystore or hardware). The previous keystore is kept intact, just renamed to `Keystore` within the `keystore` package (arguably a better name and location). If you used the account manager in your own code, a simple swap to the keystore should more or less just work™.\r\n\r\nThe other breaking change you need to be aware of is that while previously transaction signing in the keystore only required a hash of the transaction, the new code requires the entire transaction object. This is needed to support hardware wallets which require the transaction details for user confirmation UI elements."

Could you check your browser's JavaScript console for any error messages?

[ShawnyXiao]

So strange! I can access the download page now. Maybe it's a random event...

And there is no error messages on browser console.

Thank u~

[karalabe]

Great :)

i have the same error, failed to load release, even on chrome and fierfox.

The release also contains a few developer niceties. Please see compatibility section below!\r\n\r\nNew features:\r\n\r\n * Roll out v2 of the les light client protocol (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/14970, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15367, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15391).\r\n * Insta-mining, zero CPU, clique based PoA developer mode --dev (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15323).\r\n * Add API endpoint to list modified accounts between two blocks (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15512).\r\n * Gas estimation returns error instead of maxgas if transaction cannot be executed (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15477).\r\n * Improve EVM jump destination analysis for worst case scenarios (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/14582).\r\n * Enforce application/json for HTTP RPC requests (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15220, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15496).\r\n * Private network faucet support Facebook, Twitter and Google+ authentication (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15313).\r\n * Support encrypted SSH keys in the Puppeth network manager (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15443).\r\n * Introduce docker images containing all Ethereum tools (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15467).\r\n * Start shipping Ubuntu Artful Aardvark launchpad packages (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15344).\r\n\r\nSquashed bugs:\r\n\r\n * Fix log filtering when specifying non-8-multiple starting block number (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15489).\r\n * Fix replacement transaction propagation (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15343).\r\n * Reduce disk overhead on keystore startup (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15526, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15527, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15529).\r\n * Fix occasional Rinkeby chain split by additional fork selection logic (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15470).\r\n * Fix JavaScript tracing to permit working with Address types (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15297).\r\n * Fix missing commit hash in docker image versions (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15458, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/15464).\r\n\r\nCompatibility caveats:\r\n\r\n * All HTTP RPC requests from now on need to have the Content-Type: application/json header set on them. Geth v1.7.3 will refuse to service requests with no content type headers set (or headers with different content types).

Could you please reload the page with your browser's developer tool open on the network tab? We're making one request to github and one to azure. Based on your screenshot, it seems to me that azure is blocked or doesn't load for some reason for you.

[AristideFangbe]

these are the screen capture of network and console tab

[sumedhphadke]

Even I am seeing the same error

VM127:1 GET https://gethstore.blob.core.windows.net/builds?restype=container&comp=list net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET (anonymous) @ VM127:1 send @ jquery.min.js:4 ajax @ jquery.min.js:4 (anonymous) @ (index):308

Anything particular you guys did to download these files? @ShawnyXiao @srharry
I remember downloading the files without any issue just a week back but on a different PC.

[sumedhphadke]

https://gethstore.blob.core.windows.net/builds?restype=container&comp=list
Does this return any error to you guys now? I see following:

[humayuntanwar]

i m getting this error in chrome, in edge it works fine

[NashMiao]

I also met this problem, and found a available download address: https://github.com/EthFans/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Geth-Mirror
It might be helpful, but I'm not sure the security of this dowload addresss.

[Pupin3]

Is this issue closed? How?
Because I do have the same error message with both Chrome and Mozilla although I have javascript enabled and I also disabled any add blockers....

Alternatively, can someone confirm that the mirror address wdx7266 suggested above contains the latest up to date version?

[Pupin3]

Ok after waiting a while it seems that the link is actually working....

However, I am surprised to see that latest geth version number is 1.8.13 whereas in the mirror site mentioned above version is already 1.8.3
what am I missing here?

[dillonharlessNHRMC]

Anyone able to figure this out? 6 months later and users are still experiencing this issue...

Though probably not recommended, I used the dev console and selector tool to delete the notification and the page overlay. Then I just downloaded the only version showing at the top. Here's to hoping it works for someone.

Me too, but can't get md5 on the page in this way..

I have done the same :)

[sarbogast]

This issue is still present. How can something so critical be not fixed yet? I had to use Firefox to be able to download the Windows installer. Both Chrome and Edge gave me a "Failed to load releases" error message.

maybe the private mode of your browser can be helpful
