Lack of space, or restart Unbound for DNS or some IPv6 issues. Can you check them first please?

256G ssd, 1% usage, ipv6 disabled, unbound dns can resolve the address.

Not sure, where is the server located? 140 MB size, and ended with signature invalid...

[franco]

It could have ran into a timeout. The main server is in Amsterdam, but the question is which one you picked and where you are located. But this could also be ISP related.

Okay, thank you!
I suggest lower the timeout for update, or let user manually set, this is really frustrating.... Has to wait the very long timeout.
Or give user a button to cancel current download.

[franco]

The timeout is 30 seconds. The problem is the download appears active so the timeout is never reached.

okay, seems found the problem, after select the alternative mirror, the system still trying to get update from pkg.opnsense.org
and connection from China to this site is supper slow...
And the "status" tab in firmware update page is keep loading, never stop, even restart the system.

[franco]

Yes, my bad then. You can manually add the following patch:

https://github.com/opnsense/update/commit/bd59f2dff5

# opnsense-patch -c update bd59f2dff5
# /usr/local/etc/rc.configure_firmware

Okay, after manually add the patch and run the command, and update from ssh session, it works, but on the webUI, ui/core/firmware#status still loading, and nothing in that tab, also the plugin tab and package tab are empty.
