- Tue Aug 09, 2016 10:03 am #52558 I can't seem to install the esp8266 board in Arduino (versions 1.6.5, 1.6.8 or 1.6.10) due to broken links/downloads.

This url for the board manager doesn't appear to work:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

However I did manage to trick the Arduino board manager by uploading a copy of the json file to my own server...

However then Arduino can't download osx-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9-2.tar.gz:

I get something pretty similar when trying to use git and python get.py (it reports a hash error but essentially it seems to be because the file can't be downloaded:

Code: Select allDownloading osx-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9-2.tar.gz
Done
Hash mismatch for dist/osx-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9-2.tar.gz, delete the file and try again
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get.py", line 116, in <module>
    get_tool(tool)
  File "get.py", line 83, in get_tool
    raise RuntimeError()
RuntimeError

Maybe there's a problem with the servers? Visiting http://arduino.esp8266.com/osx-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9-2.tar.gz directly yields several js errors:
