One-click Update now retries on network hiccups, stops blaming the server
Posted by tomspark
SparkBox 1.6.575 fixes a frustration I kept seeing in the forum: One-click Update would fail once, then tell you the release signature was missing from our server. It wasn't missing. Your box just had a blip talking to the CDN, and we gave up immediately instead of trying again. Now the updater retries downloads three times with a pause between attempts, and the error message actually tells you what happened—whether the file is genuinely missing (it won't be) or your connection just dropped for a second. I've been chasing this one since the thread last week where three people hit it in a row during a regional network event. Highlights: - Downloads retry automatically on transient failures - Error messages distinguish real server problems from network hiccups - Fewer false "missing signature" reports, fewer unnecessary manual retries Head to your dashboard Updates tab to grab it. If you hit any issues, post here in d/sparkbox and I'll take a look. --- Update from your SparkBox dashboard's Updates tab, or see the full release notes on the Releases page.
