Can not download esp8266 board manager url (again) (again)

#1689 #2644 #2664

The webserver at arduino.esp8266.com is not working, and that has happened quite a few times before looking through the issue tracker.

Can you look into it?

Perhaps you can store these binaries on GitHub, and as such have much less reliance on whatever service or device you're using now.

we need it for a competition, please give us also a github, drive, dropbox, mega version of binaries

Same issue!
Try this:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/download/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json

Thanks @benjenq !!!
Just add this to the end of "Additional Board Manager URLs"?
Will I need to remove it once arduino.esp8266.com server is back up?

[rhtenhove]

Since that .json refers to binaries that are only available from arduino.esp8266.com, in this case the xtensa package, adding that json link instead is fruitless.
Same goes for the git installation method, since the get.py also refers to arduino.esp8266.com.

The link @benjenq provided is working for me. I can now compile for Huzzah ESP8266 on Arduino 1.6.12.

Can anyone help here, seems all options fail in some way or another, I am now getting

same problem here. After adding additional board url as https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/download/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json , esp8266 package was seen on Board Manager.

But after try to install, it's giving "Error downloading http://arduino.esp8266.com/win32-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9-2.tar.gz" error.

The site arduino.esp8266.com (104.131.82.128) is down. Any mirrors?

[ABIV]

Mirrror would be nice, as it's been noted this isn't the first time it's down.

[RothBoy]

@igrr any chance you can take care of this?
