Kali Linux not downloading

[DaveBben]

So I followed the instructions for trying to install Kali Linux and unfortunately I only get this:

I have the same problem bro i thinks it because the download link for kali got changed. If you open http.kali.org/dists/ there is no stable "option" the link in crouton needs to be changed to to http.kali.org/dists/kali/ and then a file in there i think

[tonyxue]

Seems like the directory structure of http.kali.org has changed.

I've submitted a pull request to fix this. See #1870

[dnschneid]

Should be fixed now.

@tonyxue,

Seems like the directory structure of http.kali.org has changed.

It seems to have changed again... #2220

[tonyxue]

@DennisLfromGA
Yes it did. I really have no idea why they change that.

So I think we should use kali-current this time?

[divx118]

kali-current is sana at the moment, it is the current stable release see for more info http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories It doesn't seem they have old releases in there, but maybe I overlooked something.

[tonyxue]

@divx118
So in that case we wouldn't need kali & sana anymore. We only need sana now.
I don't see any older distros in the dists anymore either.

I submitted a fix in #2223
