This is not overdone!
Did you read the many issues and help entries in Github and here?
It concerns also admins like me.
And I should only update to 19.04.
After my update aborted, I restored my previously created snapshot.
I can handle that.
But i see that a lot other people cant.

Same here. I even cannot use the “Apps” menu entry. It’s just running the circle infinitely without any message or information. A timeout doesn’t occur either.

Same here 
Hi all, i’m newbie here, does anyone know, when apps.nextcloud.com will work? I’ve just installed nextcloud server, but i cannot install apps, because i have gateway timeout error. In journal it is: Could not connect to appstore: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 60001 milliseconds (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)
It’s 22:53
I see that it is working now

Not really … Seems to be a continuous On and Off

I think the developers are aware of the situation now and they are working on it. Give them some time to bring up the server, perhaps with more hardware resources and/or a mirror. They probably think about some fall-back solutions since this is a very bad experience for everybody installing or updating Nextcloud.

It works for me
I am sorry Guys, but it is still an imposition. And yes, it is not up to me. I start the download from a server at Hetzner, where your download servers are located.
$ wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-19.0.3.zip

And yes, I know that you are already working on a CDN. But the problem is still there from the user’s point of view, no matter if you are working on it or not. And that for a very long time.
Is there really no short-term solution? Varnish Cache or Scale Horizontally (put more server in the dns) or use a temporary cdn or so on… I mean, come on. You really have HugoOps 
from me, but since it takes so long I can’t take it seriously. The problem does not exist since a few days, the problem exists since months.
I’m having problems upgrading multiple Nextcloud instances, from multiple locations. On the upgrade process it takes a lot of time to get past the download step and on one of the upgrade process it even failed at the download step. Trying to download a zip of NC 19.0.4 on my PC it either fails completely or the download is going under 100 KB/s.
I think this thread is about the same problem, but my german is not that good

Nextcloud has had some issues with their server/bandwidth capacity for some time now. You can expect slow downloads around new releases until they are able to resolve this issue. I have seen a post at some point from a NC employee who said they are working on this.
Edit: my reply got merged into this topic. I’m happy to volunteer some time to help solve the issue as a Sysadmin. I have experience with large scale setups, caching, loadbalancing etc.

The issue is already resolved for the next Desktop client release (causing the bandwidth issue, https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/pull/2512) and the next Nextcloud release (inaccessible app management when appstore is unresponsive, https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/23374 )

You marked it as resolved. So I will close it.
The last 3 days the urls download.nextcloud.com and updates.nextcloud.com has been unresponsive or very slow.
I updated some of our Nextcloud installations last weekend and everything was running smoothly.
But the last couple of days it has been near impossible to run an update.
When I start the updater in cli I get either of these two errors in the first step or the downloading step:
[Exception] Could not do request to updater server: OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to updates.nextcloud.com:443
[Exception] Could not do request to updater server: Operation timed out after 300170 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received
Is this due to high load because of the NC20 update?
