SOLVED Upgrading from 11.1u7 to 11.3 - Update List Won't Even Load

[coolbreeze56]

My system does not seem to be finding any updates. I recently logged in to check because I realized I hadn't received any update emails for quite a while.

When I click "Check for Updates" in the GUI, it fails to load any updates.

It appears that http://update.freenas.org is down as well as http://update.ixsystems.com, However I don't see any posts about this on the forums.

I have attempted to access http://update.ixsystems.com/FreeNAS/trains.txt & http://update.freenas.org/FreeNAS/trains.txt from my local system but they won't load either.

Is this localized to me (need to trouble shoot here) or is this something related to the whole community?

I have 12 TB of storage on this box that is mostly full. I don't want to risk losing data if I attempt to manually upgrade and break something. The FreeNAS Install is on a USB drive. The Data is stored on a 4x4 TB RaidZ1

Below is my output from: freenas-update -v check

Code:

Could be a transient issue. Did you check from your PC to see if you can connect to those sites? I can connect (they actually give statistics :) of who/where/what has connected).Did you try dig www.google.com on theFreeNAS box to see if you can resolve that IP?

@Newfoundland.Republic Thanks for your response. it appears to be transient. it's now loading without issue and I am able to choose the 11.3 train
