503 = too many request on the server or bandwidth limit exceeded.

Checking for update is working fine here.
Looks like your ISP has a problem to me.

Neron, any firewall issue?
Did you try to clean all your temporary files, boot and update again?

It’s ok again.It really is IPS issue.

10

Good to know… anyway, cleaning your temp files won’t hurt 8)

I’m using Ccleaner.

:slight_smile: Since you are using CCleaner, I hope you do NOT use the
“Issues” ( Registry Cleaner ) portion of that program !?
The Ad-Aware Experts never recommend using that
portion of the program .

Intriguing I use the issues section, and have done for ages with no problems at all

me too.
