I have two portable installations of Arduino 1.8.19
I tried to download a library and get this bunch of error-messages
Error downloading https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/github.com/arduino-libraries/Arduino_Low_Power-1.2.2.zip

What I have tried so far:
trying do download different libraries same error
restarting my computer (of course)
using the second portable installation of Arduino 1.8.19 which is able to install libraries with the library manager successfully
terminating Arduino-IDE
deleting the files
F:\Portable-Gelb\arduino-1.8.19\portable\library_index.json
and
F:\Portable-Gelb\arduino-1.8.19\portable\library_index.json.sig
still the same error
Does somebody have an idea what is going wrong?
Somehow the urls where the IDE wants to download from seem to be strange to me
From this we get some of the path components of the download URL:
<repository host>: github.com
<repository owner>: arduino-libraries
Now the confusing thing is that the last part of the URL is not based on the repository URL, but rather the library name, which is defined by the name field of the library.properties metadata file:
right now I'm at the point that if I make a copy of a portable installation
source directory
E:\22_02_26-Kopie-Vorlage
the copy will have the name
E:\22_02_26-Kopie-Vorlage - Kopie
with this copy it is still working to donwload and install libraries
but as soon as I change the root-foldername to have no spaces
rename from
E:\22_02_26-Kopie-Vorlage - Kopie
to
E:\22_02_26-Kopie-Vorlage-Kopie
The download-error occurs
very strange so far.
So next thing I test is copying the working portable folder using a batchfile and the command xcopy....
best regards Stefan
Are you able to consistently reproduce this thing where it works with spaces in the path and doesn't work without spaces in the path. These sorts of network issues can sometimes be intermittent, and so it is possible that it happened to work by chance the time you tried it with spaces in the path. But if you can repeatedly reproduce the working state with spaces and the non-working state without spaces, this does indicate a true correlation.
What does it mean to not beeing careful in this case?
I can't confirm yet copied name with spaces works removed spaces works not.
beyond that I want to do some more:
I have three batch-files that change the splash.png, the arduino.png and the theme.txt
because for easier distuingishing which instance of arduino-IDE belongs to which microcontroller one is "normal green" one is red one is yellow
maling the button-background red/yellow requires a change in theme.txt
The error ocured before I applied the batch-file. So it shouldn't have to do with that
The first time you install a library, the procedure goes like this:
Download library .zip file to the portable\staging\libraries folder.
This is the step where your error is occurring.
Unzip library to the portable\sketchbook\libraries folder
Now if you deleted the library from the portable\sketchbook\libraries folder and tried the installation again, the procedure would go like this:
Unzip library to the portable\sketchbook\libraries folder
The IDE sees that it already has the library downloaded to the staging folder, so it skips the download, and thus skips the step that is causing the error. That is not going to give you valid results when you are trying to test the download step.
Ok I understand. Thank you very much for explaining it.
Would it be possible if I delete several files library-index.json
the staging/zip-files
the files where the Arduino-IDE remembers which library-zipfiles were already downloaded
or whatever
would it be possible to make it work again this way?
best regards Stefan
Well, if you only want to make it work, I think you already found a workaround of using a path with spaces and can leave it at that.
But if you are interested in finding out why it doesn't work under some conditions, deleting those files can definitely be a useful investigative and experimental technique.
The Arduino IDE will automatically attempt to download the files if they are missing, so deleting them avoids the possible false results I mentioned, caused by using staged files instead of downloading them.
If you want to force a new library_index.json download, you should also delete the portable/cache folder. The IDE caches that file there, only re-downloading it when it has been some time (I don't remember the exact duration) since the cache was updated.
I have trouble with a portable installation of the 1.8.19 Arduino--IDE.
This portable installation has the "portable"-folder and all required subfolders.
This portable IDE works on my computer "A".
So I tried to copy it to my computer "B"
first step I copied it on a external USB-HDD
I tested If I could run the copy stored on the external USB-HDD.
This worked. Inlcuding the library-manager and successfully downloading libraries with the library-manager.
Then I copied this portable-IDE to computer "B". IDE starts but I'm unable to install libraries with the library-manager.
So I tested the copy stored on the external USB-HHD again.
The copy of the portable IDE on the external USB-HDD has the same problem
it is working in general but fails to download libraries by using the library-manager
To narrow down th eproblem further I "ejected" the external USB-HDD from computer "B" and connected it again to computer "A" again testing the library-manager: does work!
Next step: ejecting from computer "A" connecting again to computer "B"
I get an error. Screenshot
And here is what the console printed about the error:

So the problem seems related to computer "B". But I have no idea what could cause this
because I'm using this computer "B" all the time for surfing, thunderbird email, accessing network-drives all successfully
Does the Arduino-IDE have any logfiles that I could look into to narrow down the problem?
Does anybody know of a logging-software that is able to log all network-traffic?
any hints and tips greatly appreciated.
best regards Stefan
Yes still have this problem and did more testing.
Copying libraries manually to the folder to see if the error occurs if a certain library or with a bigger number of libraries.
The error is not reprpducable with this. Somehow intermittend.
Confirming that it does work for you does not really help.
Do you know of any logfiles I can look up?
Do you know of any software that is able to log the details of how java is doing this network communication?
I have made quite a bit of effort in hopes I might be of some help with your problem. It seems that is not welcome so I'll desist after this reply and leave you to it.
The logging capability was removed in Arduino IDE 1.8.19 due to the problems with the Log4j logging framework and due to the fact that there wasn't any evidence of it being used:
You can get pretty much all the information you could want by running the Arduino IDE from the command line. Use the executable arduino_debug.exe instead of the arduino.exe you use normally.
