Seems like the url for download is incorrect

I experience the same issue trying to download the Latest Version of OC. I also tried downloading OC 0.8.0 and some kexts, which does not work either. It just keeps trying, never finishes and never times out.

Please choose an alternative GitHub mirror server in the "Settings".

In general, "https://github.com/" is always effective, otherwise, please choose another try, such as: "https://gh.api.99988866.xyz/https://github.com/", etc.

The previous "issue" has been extensively discussed and described regarding this matter. Accessing github may present challenges in various regions.

Also, I have upgraded the OC to 1.0.0 via OCAT.

Thanks! It seems to be a problem with the DNS of my Philippines ISP and the local network configuration. I was able to get OCAuxiliaryTools to update OC to 1.0.0 on another hackintosh on the same local network. Then investigated the issue on my main hackintosh.

I was able to wget successfully in Terminal: wget "https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/download/1.0.0/OpenCore-1.0.0-RELEASE.zip"

But in OCAuxiliaryTools I still received: "QNetworkReply::HostNotFoundError". Somehow QT expected something different than wget.

I tried changing DNS providers in System Preferences, also tried connecting via a VPN, also disabled the application firewall Lulu, and tried various alternative hosts, like the one you suggested.

Eventually it worked with DNS 1.1.1.1 and the following settings:

Satisfied that it works now, but it was a weird issue, especially considering, that other applications did not have such network errors.

I am in US. I don't think there is any DNS issue. BTW where you get this preference screen? This is what I got when I click the Preference:

same here, I don't know where the settings are supposed to be. I get this error when I try to check for kext updates

edit: found them

The problem recurred, but using the new Github API token feature for downloading kexts and OpenCore updates now works again.
