Hello @PaulAppAdmin

Eclipse update sites are complex, and they introduced multiple metadata format over time. For backward compatibility reasons, Eclipse should try to get various file names (artifacts.xml, compositeArtifacts.xml, artifacts.jar, artifacts.xml.xz, …) until it found one.
In your case, the request to https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/6.0.0.34844/artifacts.xml should return with a 404, and then Eclipse should try the next file. Instead, it fails with a timeout, and so Eclipse will stop there.

Maybe there is a misconfigured proxy on your network, because on my side it works fine.

If you can’t fix your network setup, maybe you could try to download manually the latest SonarLint update site archive, and use it for installation.

Thank you for the quick response, the site archive link works for me on a separate network connection. Thanks for confirming it’s a “me” issue :slight_smile:
