"Preparing to torrent update..." and Never Updates. Can I force HTTP?

Since I do not have the 1.5 Open Beta, I downloaded the 2.5 Open Beta from the DCS website. After copying files from my 1.5 Stable branch, the updater attempts to start the torrent download but gets stuck. Here's the lines of the autoupdate.log pointing to some errors:

 

INFO : Copied 26003060999 bytes in 31974 files

INFO : To download: 21953025516 bytes in 3100 files

STATUS: Preparing to torrent update...

INFO : 3 parts to fetch

INFO : Added DCS-2.5.0.13818.311-WORLD.arch_x86_64-update-0.torrent: 79.9 MB

INFO : Rejecting DCS-2.5.0.13818.311-WORLD.arch_x86_64-base-0.torrent: slack/need = 49.9/0.0

ERROR: Conection to server 'srv7update.digitalcombatsimulator.com' failed: Error in the HTTP2 framing layer

ERROR: Conection to server 'srv7update.digitalcombatsimulator.com' failed: Error in the HTTP2 framing layer

 

As my ISP throttles torrents anyway, is there a way I can force HTTP download? Or is HTTP screwed as well, since the log says it can't connect?

Same problem for me today. I started the update yesterday, but had to shut down the PC before it was finished. Today, I am getting stuck on "Preparing to Torrent Update. Have tried 3 times, around 20 minutes each try before terminating and starting again, but same issue. I guess it may be due to servers being overloaded?

 

Cheers,

Kill the application because there is no Abort or Cancel functions, and do a Repair.

It will be OK. I did in this way.

It should say on the updater window: "Click Cancel to switch to HTTP downloading". Does it not?

That's only after it starts a torrent download. I want to bypass torrents completely, thus circumventing the "preparing to torrent update" delay.

I see. Don't know if this is possible :dunno:
