In addition to that, corrupted cache data is also one of the main causes of this error. Since a slow internet connection is among the leading culprits, ensure you are not experiencing a weak connection. If the connection is stable enough, the following steps may help resolve the issue. We recommend restarting both the router and the device to rule out any temporary bugs or glitches.
1. Use a Different DNS
Switching to a fast, reliable, and secure DNS such as Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS can help resolve this error as it improves the ability to connect to the servers without any issues. The Domain Name System (DNS) converts human-readable domain names into IP addresses, facilitating the connection between your computer and the server. If your current DNS settings are causing latency or failures, switching to a different DNS can help resolve the error.
2. Clear Sileo Cache
Corrupted cache data can lead to issues with fetching and displaying updated package information, causing timeouts.
3. Use a VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) routes your internet traffic through different servers, which can help bypass regional restrictions and ISP throttling. Using a VPN can connect you through different regions where the repository servers might be more accessible, potentially improving the connection. There are many VPN services available; try one to see if it resolves the issue.
4. Use a Different Network Connection
If the problem persists, try connecting to a different network, such as using mobile data or another Wi-Fi connection. This will help determine whether the issue is with your current network or the Sileo backend.
