Rufus download linux windows 7#

If you are using a vanilla version of Windows 7 where all the system updates have been applied, then your SSL library should have been updated to use the more modern versions of the SSL protocol and you should not see this error.Now for the points that might be of interest to you: Note that you will see the exact same issue if you try to access the links above with Internet Explorer (since IE also uses the native system libraries). So, if you are using an OS that still relies on a outdated version of the SSL library, you're going to have an issue downloading anything from GitHub and other SSL websites that care about providing a secure connection. Obviously (and unlike browsers like Firefox or Chrome, which is part of the reason they end up being so bloated), Rufus does not embed its own custom version of an SSL library but instead uses the one provided natively by the OS.

We're being hosted by GitHub now, and GitHub does not allow clients to connect if they use SSL versions that have been deprecated because they have major security vulnerabilities. Rufus is designed to be able to retrieve the files it needs online.

I am no longer providing help for people who want to use Rufus in unconnected mode, because, since online content ALWAYS changes (and the issue you are facing is the exact consequence of that), it's just not worth trying to point people to such and such workaround, because it's going to change again a few months down the line (for instance I could point you to, but that too IS going to move away in less than 2 months now), and when that happens, all we're going to get is a new stream of 'Link xyz is broken'.Īt this stage, even if it sounds harsh, I will therefore say this: If you plan to use Rufus offline, then you're on your own. the ability to browse the content of the files/ repository as if it was a folder) has been disabled and I am not planning to re-enable it again because, as opposed to what was the case on the old server, I would need to create an individual page for each directory and it's just too tedious to maintain.
