Update all is hanging while downloading mame roms 11/9/24

[Slock_Ness]

Hello. Has anyone been having a problem with update_all script when it gets to the Section arcade_roms_db? Over the weekend of 11/9/24 it keeps getting stuck on downloading the mame rom files for dynablast.zip ...thinking it's an issue with the connection to archive.org? I manually installed the zip from merged 0.217 set prior to update all and still encountering the error when the script continuously keeps downloading ********************* and never ends. Also worth noting, I gave it a lot of minutes and still just keeps downloading in a forever cycle.

archive.org is partially down, they are getting DDOS attacks.
As for now go into settings and have the MAME Rom download on disable until they get it sorted out.
The site is also in a legal battle.

You going to have to get your roms the old fashion way for a while

Copy bbmanw.zip manually and the update_all.script works fine. At least on my MiSTer.

Well, there were 2 bomberman roms needed bbmanw.zip and dynablst.zip and both were there already. I know sometimes the merged romset i have (0.217) is missing a alternate folder or 2 that it wants to add. I took off the auto dl's for now.

I left it running while I went and ran some errands and it finished

Got the same issue but after a few attemps and just let it run i downloaded the full update incl Bomberman.

It took awhile to update but finally was done. I got tired of looking at it and turned off the monitor and go watch some football.

i wonder if update_all and downloads from archive.org are working again?

I updated it last week. It hangs on some cores. Especially the JT ones...
So you may need to retry it over and over... and let it stay if it hangs...
After a few tries i get any update. If you cant or anna wait you can also
manually install the roms for the updated cores.

Thats what some guys told me last week at the Mister FPGA Discord channel.

Kind regards
