Every time I try to download the voice packet, an error occurs.

Pity you didn't catch this during the beta, Humberto.

I can confirm the error, it's caused by the space between 'Portuguese (Brazil)' in the filename. It should be converted to %20, it isn't, and that results in a Bad Request server error.

I tested a couple of other languages, and since it worked with them, I assumed it worked with all of them. Bad developer, bad bad!

This basically affects the whole Brazilian population. Great, managed to piss off a whole country. :)

Let me think about what I can do at this point.

Ok, I compiled a new version of the Update Manager with this issue fixed, and refreshed the download files in the server for all applications so they already include the new version of the Update Manager.

Of course, this still does not solve the problem of those users who already updated in the past 16 hours or so: those still have the 'bad' version of the Update Manager.

So, I also released an update to the Update Manager itself, which only those with the 'bad' version will get. Update Manager updates have priority over everything (voice packs, other updates, etc...) so next time a new check for updates is performed, it will notify users of the new Update Manager version instead of the voice pack.

Once the new Update Manager is installed, it will immediately check for remaining updates and this time it will properly download the Portuguese (Brazilian) voice pack.

Please let me know ASAP how it turned out for you.

Thanks for letting me know.

Not the sexiest Brazilian voice I ever heard (lol), but unfortunately I couldn't find a better text-to-speech voice for Brazilian Portuguese. :)

Well, not exactly. Anyone updating from a previous version will first get a prompt to update the Update Manager too, since, as I said, it has priority over everything else.

Sigh.

The good thing about this (there is always a good thing, eh?) is that the new Update Manager immediately performs another check for updates right after downloading a new update (the old one would only schedule a new check to 24 hours later, so non-English users upgrading to the new version would only get their new voice pack 24 hours later. Now they get it immediately).
