I am experiencing problems downloading the latest
beta. Is it me or Elecraft’s FTP site? Error message reads :- C:\Data\Downloads\K3\Latest Beta\2r58\k3fw2r57.zip could not
be saved, because the source file could not be read. 73 Andrew m0gjh _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

David, I too had trouble. I moved the
files to the default folder and downloader again successfully. Apparently the
firmware update process doesn’t like placing into other than the default
folder. It could have been my error, but once I relocated the files all worked
just fine. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1

You should be able to load
firmware from any folder in the PC’s file system. There’s nothing magic about
the default folder. The folder needs to have all the files, see the
troubleshooting section of Help on “Missing files” for the list. What symptoms did you observe
that led you to the “firmware update process doesn’t like” conclusion? 73 de Dick, K6KR From:

Dick, I was unable to get the file to
download from the site! I tried for two days with timeouts. I then
gave up and moved all files to the default folder and tried again. Go figure.
I also added the firmware updater to my firewall just to be it wasn’t blocking
it. I wrote Wayne to ask if there was something wrong, and he advised the
site was very busy. I tried late last night and then this morning at 7 am
central time. No luck. When I had a moment, I moved the files from
my configured location to the default, and tried again. It worked. So
I figured there must be something in the code that is preventing the
updates. My radio is serial #1744 and was factory built. I only
started downloading updates when updated firmware is posted. I tried a beta
when Wayne was looking for some of us to try over the weekend. Then when
2.58 became available I tried to download with the problem mentioned. Perhaps it was user error, as I
explain to my PC customers quite frequently. J Bill You should be able to load
