Downloading STM32CubeF4 1.17.0 fails repeatedly.

Hi all,

I'm trying to download stm32cube_fw_f4_v1170.zip using the new Libraries manager. I must have tried at least ten times downloading this 418.0 MByte file, it downloads 418.1 MBytes then throws up an error:

Error downloading the following files:

stm32cube_fw_f4_v1170.zip (Not yet available)

For unavailable files, you can load them manually with the 'From local' button.

I've tried to download the STM32CubeF4 package from the web page, but the available package is v1.18.0 and that throws up the error 'This Package version is not managed on this version of STM32CubeMX'

I'm starting to get a little frustrated by the whole process. Can anyone give me any hints on how to download this thing?

if it helps, I'm running this on a 32 bit Windows 7 box. Cube itself seems to work just fine, it's just downloading the library that fails.

Thank

Never mind. Kaspersky was doing something to the download. I disabled protection for 15 mins and it worked fine.

Yeah, worked fine from here, uploading to the Google Drive in case others have a problem with it, odd that v1.18.0 is posted but unusable with CubeMX

I'll also observe that you can get those error messages if the file system runs out of space, CubeMX consumes a lot of disc space (10's of GB), you should remove unused library versions to recover the space consumed by the unpack archives and archives themselves.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. Everything seems good now the anti-virus isn't in the way. I wonder if it was taking too long to finish scanning the zip file and causing some kind of timeout?

AV can be a huge drag of system performance and file reading/writing, it can have significant impact on compile times, especially if the project runs into thousands of files.
