Error 503 Backend fetch failed

[Maziar Kakhi]

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing “Error 503 Backend fetch failed” when trying to download Notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.7.html?

If there is a server issue on Notepad++'s side, any idea when it will be resolved?
If it is not a server issue, can you suggest a workaround?

Thank you.
Maziar.

Getting the same issue. Back end fetch failed

[Meta Chuh]

we are all experiencing the same.

so far we did not get any notification, whether it is caused by works at the notepad++ web server, or other reason.

best regards.

Sorry. The best bet is to wait patiently. Usually, the 503 server errors are fixed within a few hours.

(Unfortunately, the GitHub releases directory only includes the source code, so you cannot download it from there.)

@PeterJones What about Major geeks? (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/notepad.html)

They have 2 mirrors listed, but there is no clue if it is x86 or x64

DON’T Don’t don’t …

…get your Notepad++ from anywhere but the official download site !!!

Geez, just wait, it’ll come back. (and for me it already has)

Yesterday, I was facing the issue only with the Download specific site. But today even the main home page seems broken.
