Is anyone else getting this error on F-Droid?

    Download failed!
    The requested file was not found.
    https://f-droid.org/repo/eu.faircode.email_1518.apk

How can I download this app? I use K-9 Mail at the moment, but I'd like to try this to see if it's any better.

Sometimes, the FDroid client errors out. Some steps I generally found helpful to fix this issue were: - Refresh the repos (pull down to refresh) - Reduce the caching thresold (Settings => Other (Bottom of the screen) => Keep Cached Apps) - Wait for a bit then try again

You can also always download this directly from the browser.

I cleared F-Droid's cache and data. After an hour, I still can't download it :(

I got so fed up with the F-Droid client that I moved to Foxy Droid, which I ironically installed via F-Droid:

> Foxy Droid (Yet another F-Droid client) - https://f-droid.org/packages/nya.kitsunyan.foxydroid

I believe there are a few other clients too but I just like Foxy so far

I fixed this by disabling all mirrors except f-droid.org for the official F-Droid repo. (Settings > Repositories > F-Droid > Official mirrors)

Same error, for several different apps, since yesterday.
