I recently installed Dev-C++ (4.9.9.2) however, whenever I use the WebUpdate feature and click the "Check for Updates" button, it spits out a "Could not connect to remote site" error after a variable amount of time. The connection status on the updater shows connected, however, after a couple seconds (or less), the error gets thrown in my face. I've tried redownloading and reinstalled (after uninstalling) and copying the "mirrors.cfg" file into the Dev-C++ App data folder, but nothing has worked so far. Any ideas on how to fix this?
-Thanks in advance,
Kyo

Weird, it seems to have fixed itself now.... WebUpdate works, but I need to do some investigating on why it works.

I just installed Dev-C++ 5.7.1, and the Web Update mirrors are still invalid. I have never been able to get this feature to work on any version I have used to date.

Devpaks can be installed via the Package manager (on the Dev folder on teh Start menu), or by file association simply by double clicking the DevPak file in Explorer.

I am wondering whether you have more than one mirrors.cfg file and that perhaps the one you have posted is not the one that Dev-C++ is using.
Do both of the listed servers fail?
In WebUpdate are they listed exactly as in the mirrors file you posted? i.e. as "Dev-C++ primary devpak server" and "devpaks.org Community Devpaks"
*Has the tool previously worked?
*Have you previously installed an older version of Dev-C++?
*The correct location for the mirrors.cfg file is in either in your user profile or the "All Users" profile depending on how you installed Dev-C++. Either way it is teh same location that DevCpp.cfg and DevCpp.ini are located, usually c:\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Local Settings\Application Data where <user profile> is either your user name or "All Users" as I said.
Note that mostly what resides on "Dev-C++ primary devpak server" with a few exceptions are things that are in the distribution of Dev-C++ in any case, and only three of those files have been updated since 2005, and those updates are also available via www.mingw.org. Devpaks.org is laready categorised and annotated, and actually provides more information that is shown via WebUpdate.

^ Yes they both fail the same way.
In WebUpdate are they listed exactly as in the mirrors file you posted? i.e. as "Dev-C++ primary devpak server" and "devpaks.org Community Devpaks"
^ Yes, I've even changed the names around in the file, and the name changes on WebUpdate.
*Has the tool previously worked?
^ Yes, a while back in 2006
*Have you previously installed an older version of Dev-C++?
^ No, first time I installed Dev-C++ was version 4.9.9.2
*The correct location for the mirrors.cfg file is in either in your user profile or the "All Users" profile depending on how you installed Dev-C++. Either way it is teh same location that DevCpp.cfg and DevCpp.ini are located, usually c:\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Local Settings\Application Data where <user profile> is either your user name or "All Users" as I said.
^ Yes, it's in the correct location, all the other setting files are there too. There is no Dev-C++ folder for "All Users" however.
I do realize that there are ways around, but I'm quite stubborn to fix this error. :)

Has you network infrastructure or the way you connect to the network changed since it last worked? For example; introduction of a hardware or software firewall or proxy server.
A number of users have reported problems connecting via corporate networks, but we have never determined a cause in these cases. In each case the user was not willing to ask their sys admin because they were not supposed to have installed Dev-C++ on their company's equipment.

The way I connect only had minor changes. I changed out my wireless router, but that shouldn't have any effect since outgoing connections are not filtered at all. I don't use proxies at all, and as far as I know, my ISP doesn't use transparent proxies.
I installed this at home, so there shouldn't be any network issues.

People on this board are not great at answering questions, Rhett are very

"look it up" I haven't been there in a couple of years, but that was the
only answer I ever got from McFly and co.

What does your mirrors.cfg file contain? (post it - its plain text).
Everything available via WebUpdate is available here https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10639 and here http://www.devpaks.org/
Devpaks can be installed via the Package manager (on the Dev folder on teh Start menu), or by file association simply by double clicking the DevPak file in Explorer.
Clifford
Here is the mirrors.cfg:
======Begin File======
[WebUpdate mirrors]
Dev-C++ primary devpak server=http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dev-cpp/
devpaks.org Community Devpaks=http://devpaks.sourceforge.net/
======End File======
I just like using WebUpdate so that if I want a devpak, I don't have to open a web browser and slog through everything to figure out what it is.
Again, thanks in advance!
