Basing on problem discussed on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/12z7c4d/comment/jhr5hqa/ discover tells me there is firmware update for my laptop. Every attempt ends with nothing. Everything blinks and that's all. I checked logs and there is Fwupd Error: Could not download QUrl("https://fwupd.org/downloads/f0941937f233a30cf779523fee4ba407eebd58d7920603b25d2ee92aaf3241a5-Latitude_5420_TGL_1.27.0.cab") "Error transferring https://fwupd.org/downloads/f0941937f233a30cf779523fee4ba407eebd58d7920603b25d2ee92aaf3241a5-Latitude_5420_TGL_1.27.0.cab - server replied: TOO MANY REQUESTS" I can download this file outside plasma-discover, so it seems to be problem with plasma-discover itself or fwupd. I have 1.11.2 and there is 1.27.0 so it looks it is not working for a while SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Dell Latitude 5420 openSUSE Tumbleweed
> server replied: TOO MANY REQUESTS It sounds like the server was overloaded at the moment you told Discover to download the firmware update. If you try again, does it work now?

If you try again, does it work now? First time tried few weeks ago. I don't know if then was the same error message but i guess it was. As i asked others on reddit i am not only one. Some people manually updated with fwupd. Tried now again. Not overwhelming hours for servers in my timezone but the same result.
Hmm Ok, maybe it is an issue on Discover's side then. I wonder if this is the issue that was fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/commit/39ac7a6b82b3dc20f3c44ef11246d72545897f2d.
Talked to the author of that commit and he confirms that it is. So this should be fixed in Plasma 5.27.5. Ultimately this is actually a bug in the LVFS which made the questionable decision to block all requests fro Mozilla user agents, which Discover happens to use because it uses QtNetwork which has that user agent by default.

Great. Thanks for you attention!
