Hello Marcos,
Happy New Year to You!
To update, the error seems to be resolved today! I had changed the mirror directory to new one last time while troubleshooting to see if the files are being created, but it was failing then. When i checked today, the new mirror directory is updated with files of 1.54GB size. Also when i click on Check for updates, it does not get any error and is updating.
I am not sure how it got resolved all by itself! (Could be 2023 is lucky for us!)
Thanks for all your support.
Regards,
K
