        SOLUTION UNTIL IT IS FIXED UPSTREAM :
        edit ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />

                @Substring thanks for the solution. I did something similar, which was to add an entry to the hosts file to make "recalbox.com" point to the IP of www.recalbox.com. To be able to do that, I had to remount the file system as writable. The commands were:

                1. ssh root@192.168.X.X and then type the default password for the root user (described in the wiki)
                2. mount -o remount,rw /
                3. echo "163.172.165.227 recalbox.com" >> /etc/hosts

                  @fegemo this is much more complicated and would blow up on update. But glad it worked for you 🙂

                    @Substring Did not work for me. 😞 Connection status still shows "not connected" although the Box is cabled and assigned an IP adress.

                        For all of you who have your games on an USB device or hdd. Then you need to change the settings on /media/usb0/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.
                        usb0 depends on your system. could also be usb1 ect. just try it out which one fits for you

                        So for people who have their games on an USB / hdd device try edit

                        /media/usbXY/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace

                        <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with
                        <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />

                        edit: looks like this not really works. after reboot the es_settings.cfg is back to default for me.

                          For people who are uneasy at editing the file, juste paste this in SSH : /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop && sed -i "s+recalbox\.com+archive\.recalbox\.com+g" ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg && /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

                            Thanks for your help! this actually worked. After editing the cfg with vi it was changed back to default after a reboot. Your comand line parameter actually worked!

                              @Ares2502 That's because ES rewrites the values, so we need to shut it down before modifying the file 🙂

                                  How do you shut it down before modifying this file from the "share" folder...connecting from a PC? Thanks for your help on this...
