Cannot connect to upgrade.

[MagicMax]

Hi

I have been using the software on a hosted server for a while but now I am moving on with a particular project. I have a message that says there is a new version available but when I try to connect via "Network" Option I get this every time  503 Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily busy, try again later!

This also happens when I try to find extensions?

this mean that hosting provider forbids to connect to our server.
You can download upgrade package manually and upload it by tab extension upload in menu extension->install extension

It worked in the end thanks. I do however have a problem now where I cannot upload any type of file to the downloads section, I get an error filetype not allowed?
