Why can't I update from the Joomla update anymore? This is happening on all my installs now. This is the error i get (see attached)

I can update manually with no problem.

Hello Andrew,

can you please double check if the Download ID you are using is the correct one?

Yup - that was it...but I wasn't aware that it was changed.

That's happened because the Download ID was linked to your hashed password stored inside the database.
Since Joomla changed the hashing algorithm twice, your Download ID was reset two times.
However, you don't have to worry anymore, since we changed ARS (the extension powering our downloads) and now the download id are directly stored inside the database, so they won't change in the future (unless you really want to).
