using 4.9.9.2 (downloaded and clean installed this morning).
webupdate obtains list from devpak.org ok but trying to download any of them results in an error message
"The following files were not downloaded due to errors..."
"File http://devpaks.org/ does not exist"
It looks like the selected filename/s string is not being added to the url string.

have checked this morning (monday) on both planetmirror and devpak.org and they are both working.
It must have been a peculiar error during the time the devpak.org server was undergoing maintenance on the weekend.- I assume the main devpak config file was available, but the individual devpak files were not (at the time)

doesn't make big sense since most of the devpaks are not located on devpaks.org, most of them are linked to Irish SF mirror. Anyway in the case that the server with devpak was not working the error message would contain full url including the devpak filename. for me is your error message still mystery

the 4992 release is planned for around feb 15 - so we still have some time. I'm not going to be able to finish the changes I want into the next release sooner

I would just put a new mirrors file on top of the weubpdate.conf list - that would probably fix the problem
mirrors.cfg would be [WebUpdate mirrors]
PlanetMirror.com=http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/devcpp/
devpaks.org Community Devpaks=http://devpaks.sourceforge.net/webupdate.conf
webupdate.conf should have on top: [WebUpdate Mirrors list]
Description=The latest mirrors list for this updater
RemoteFilename=mirrors.cfg
LocalFilename=mirrors.cfg
Group=Application
InstallPath={Config}
Version=2.1
Size=
Date=2005-02-07 12:00
and problem will be gone.
with time I intentend to add mirrors.cfg that would also point to sites with "generic packages" that could be used with dev-cpp

what about if you try from planetmirror? is devpaks.orgsite down?
if the devpaks.org server had been down, the error message would have been completely different. This error message looks really strange
I'm still curious if the message happens for planetmirror.
As for mirror for devpaks.org you could create a mirrors.cfg file on the webupdate.conf on devpaks.org that would contain the list of three servers.
OK
I have changed my mind. You are probably true. Simply replace http://devpaks.org/webupdate.conf with http://devpaks.sourceforge.net/webupdate.conf.
what made you change your mind?

looking into the stats :-) webupdate.conf made nearly 200 MiB for 6 days
i've also heavily clearled webupdate.conf, i hope that nobody will kill me for that :-)
