Problem with ado update: host not found

[Sebastian Kripfganz]

I just got the following Mata error message when running ado update:

. ado update
note: ado update updates community-contributed files; type update to check for updates to official Stata.

Checking status of installed packages:

I can access stata.com in my webbrowser, but Stata seems unable to connect to the server. Moreover, it does not seem right to get such a Mata error message instead of a proper Stata error.

I think you will find this is working now.

Added in edit: it had initially failed for me as well, so it wasn't a problem at your end.
