MIktex download and update error

 


Default download for miktex from ctan mirror:

https://mirror.niser.ac.in/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/setup/windows-x64/basic-miktex-24.1-x64.exe

The above mirror is not working most of the time.

So changed the mirror by manually changing the ctan mirror in the url to:

https://in.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/setup/windows-x64/basic-miktex-24.1-x64.exe


When updating from miktex console, Got errror that update not possible due to ctan server not replying. Error message was time out error

code="28", url="https://in.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb3-2.9.tar.lzma"


Changed the ctan mirror miktex uses from NISER server to CICKU

mpm --set-repository="https://in.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"
