I can't seem to get the latest updates from the update server for the last couple of days. Is this me, or are the updates not available yet? The SuperSwiki and Scamper seem to work fine so the connectivity is there.

I can access both servers. And the index seems to be correct.
What happens when you try? What does 'help...'/'about this system' report as your highest update number. If you have a changeSet numbered higher, it would think it does not need any updates. If this is the case, rename the offending CS.

Dan,
Thanks for the quick response.
When I try to update I get:
No new updates on the server squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/Squeak2.0/ Would you like to try the next server?
If I select Try next server I get:
0 new update files(s) processed.
Thinking that it's just my image I downloaded a complete new package for windows from:
http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/Squeak.zip [VM+image] per Andreas Raab's previous announcement.
It allows my to do updates to the 3.0 image, then I hit the 3.1alpha warning bumper. Save the image and quit, come back in and proceed over the bumper and into the 3.1alpha updates.
The system loads 47 new updates:
'help...'/'about this system' returns: Squeak3.1alpha of 2 March 2001 latest update: #3664 Current Change Set: New Changes
About Squeak VM on Win32 reads: Squeak 3.1 VM (alpha build 1) from Feb 28 2001
So now I can't even get to 3696.
Trying update again gives:
No new updates on the server squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/Squeak2.0/ Would you like to try the next server?
Select "Try next server":
Hmm.. it loads 15 new update files now I'm at 3679. Still not to 3696.
Trying update again gives:
No new updates on the server squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/Squeak2.0/ Would you like to try the next server?
Select "Try next server":
No joy this time.
Trying a Save and Quit, back in and trying update again gives:
17 new update files processed. OK now I'm up to #3696 :)
I'm seeing a pattern here, Save & Quit again, back in and trying update again gives:
No new updates on the server squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/Squeak2.0/ Would you like to try the next server?
Select "Try next server":
Again no joy. Response is: 0 new update files processed.
If I attempt to select the European Squeak Updates first I still get: 0 new update files processed.
Vitals are now: Squeak3.1alpha of 2 March 2001 latest update; #3696 Current Change Set: New Changes
Again this is all from a virgin image, any pointers on where to set a halt to help debug this? I'm guessing that there is an index compare that is failing either due to the value I'm receiving from the server, or from my image. However, I'm not familiar which class(es) this code would be in.
Also, it might be helpful if another windows user could repeat this from a virgin image.
My only oddity is that I am behind a Proxy server and so have to execute a: HTTPSocket useProxyServerNamed: 'proxy-den.global.lmco.com' port: 80.

Is this the same proxy you use with your browser? Can you see the updates there? Are all updates in the updates.list?
I could imagine your proxy caches the updates.list file so Squeak cannot get at the newer updates ...

Yes, this is the same proxy that I use with my Netscape browser.
Yes, in my Netscape browser at: http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/Squeak2.0/updates/updates.list
I can see the last line as:
3741BBSrcEqDestFix2-di.cs
However in Scamper I get the last line as:
3696FixLargeTileToggle-di.cs
Hmm...at least its consistent inside of Squeak.
But what would cause it to stop at 3696 inside of Squeak? Am I reaching the end of some socket buffer? Suggestions?
Actually, it's worse than that I've just tried going into the updates directory and then back into updates.list from Scamper and now the last line I get is:
3664CelesteCompactFix-sr.cs
This is the same one that I had stopped on before on the way to 3696 during my updating from the virgin image. I'd like to blame the proxy server, but I get good stuff from Netscape as well as Internet Exploder.
