Downloading index:library_index.tar.bz2 problem

[ptillisch]

Hi @kjocoka1 and @doughpatterson. A fix for the bug that caused the index download to hang was made in Arduino IDE 2.3.4:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-ide-2-3-4-is-now-available/1329167#p-7972984-fix-operations-hanging-while-serial-monitorplotter-is-open-5

Please try Arduino IDE 2.3.4 and then let us know if you still experience the problem.

@doughpatterson

I used to be able to compile and download even with the serial monitor open, but not in 2.3.3. I have to close it before downloading or I get an error msg and no download

That sounds like something separate from the subject of this topic, so definitely create a new forum topic as @sterretje requested if you still experience it with Arduino IDE 2.3.4.
