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

[strv]

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?

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

It means after pressing "Install" button in the Toolchain Manager to download nRF Connect SDK. The status that shows "Downloading toolchain x%" is taking time.

>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?

Yes, I downgraded to v1.2.5 to try everything. At first, I tried with v1.2.6.

Now I'm trying to download v2.5.0-rc2 for a test. It seems pretty fast. It passed 5 minutes only but already completed 35%.

Yesterday, failed download due to 8 hours needed to finish download and finally show error message,

But I could download successfully only take below 30min to finish download both from VS Code and toolchain manager.

Thanks,

Hi all, thanks for reporting back.

I still don't know what could have caused this, but I'm glad to hear that downloads are working again.

I hope the rest goes smoothly.

Best regards,

Currently struggling to get v2.5 toolchain downloaded using VSCode.  v2.5 SDK downloads in a reasonable time.

Having the same problem downloading v2.9.1. Download has taken almost 3 hours to complete, and in the end didn't actually work. Download is extremely slow.

Tried again though the Toolchain Manager v1.5.3 app and I get the following error once it reaches ~80% after 2 hours:

Error: Failed with exit code 1. Failed to download toolchain bundle

Caused by: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (os error 10054).
