"loading firmware list" does not work (firmare.sensor.community down?)

[m-alt-f]

I'm using airRohr-firmware-flasher-0.3.0-Ubuntu_18.04_amd64 (and I have only used this platform).

About three weeks ago I built my 1st sensor and downloading the latest firmware worked like a charm.

Today, I tried to do the same. Two things went wrong.

1. This link: https://firmware.sensor.community/airrohr/flashing-tool/airRohr-firmware-flasher-0.3.0-Ubuntu_18.04_amd64 does not work anymore. I had to download the flashing tool from this GitHub.

2. The flasher tool I managed to download from this GitHub did not load the firmware list. The "Loading firmware list..." message kept showing up at the bottom.

I still managed to get the sensor up and running because of this video that the maintainer made: https://d.inf.re/b/ffc776f1e74faa0ca4f50842e37ec567.webm <-- doing it this way flashed the firmware beautifully and the sensor is now up and running.

It was obviously a temporary outage / server temporarily down or something like that. Just tested it - all works as it should again!

At the moment there is sometimes too much traffic and some lines or servers may be overloaded. But we try to monitor this and to react to this.

https://firmware.sensor.community/airrohr/update/ seems to be down again. Hence the flash loader only shows a "Loading firmware list ..." and you can't use it for flashing :-(

I tried to change the UPDATE_REPOSITORY back to the old server https://www.madavi.de/sensor/update/data/. That's seem to work.
