nRF Connect SDK can not download from Toolchain Manager. Too slow.

I'm new to developing nRF devices. This is the first time to set up SDK.

I installed Toolchain Manager v1.2.6 to install SDK, but it is too slow and falls into error.
It takes over 3 hours after clicking the `Install` button to become an error.

Error message is

Error: Error: Failed to download toolchain bundle Caused by: 0: request or response body error: error reading a body from connection: end of file before message length reached 1: error reading a body from connection: end of file before message length reached 2: end of file before message length reached

Is it possible to change the download source? Is there any other method to solve this issue?

  • I also seeing same issue slow and download error, nRF Connect SDK v.2.4.2 

  • Hi Sakamoto and strv,

    Thanks for reporting! I asked the developers whether they were aware of any ongoing issue. They weren't.

    I tried to download a new SDK revision to replicate this, but  in my case it worked fine.

    I wonder if perhaps there was just some temporary downtime that wasn't caught.

    Are you both still struggling to download the SDK? Or have you been able to succeed in the mean time?

    Best regards,

  • I tried several times and finally, I got SDK v2.4.2 with Toolchain Manager v1.2.5 few hours ago. It took 11 hours to download.
    Now I am trying to download SDK v2.5.0-rc1, but it seems very slow.

  • Hi strv,

    Thanks for reporting back! That doesn't sound good, I'll ask again if there's anything the developers can do.

    If you were to cancel your ongoing SDK download or it fails, would you mind trying the download tool included in our VS Code extension? It recently gained the ability to install SDK and toolchain versions.

    Let me know if there is anything more we can do.

    Best regards,

    Raoul

  • Hi again strv,

    I just need to clarify something.

    I installed Toolchain Manager v1.2.6 to install SDK, but it is too slow and falls into error.
    It takes over 3 hours after clicking the `Install` button to become an error.

    Were you saying that downloading the SDK took too long? Or downloading the toolchain manager itself?

    I see that you have Toolchain Manager v1.2.6 in the first screenshot you posted. Are you saying that you downgraded to v1.2.5 to install the SDK?

    I might have misunderstood you earlier.

    Best regards,

    Raoul
