You are using a very outdated version of our software. The URL for the feed has changed a while ago and the servers have been shut now.

Also this has been discussed at several places already. Please use the search function next time before posting.

I don´t know what you are doing, but it is NOT working to replace a outdated and end of life version with a other outdated and end of life version. Please check the correct migration steps here in the forum:
