Having an issue downloading Atari ST core.

I click on Core Downloader and it says 0% and flips back to menu?

Also, I upgraded from 2601.0 to 2601.1 but my system still shows 2601.0 (bc38efa0)?

Issue is that github is declining to serve the files for some reason.

Themes works fine.  
Portmaster works fine.

Cores error.

For the moment, users with issues with the core downloader will have to manually download them from this exact link: [Release Release - 2026-05-04 01:37:09 · MustardOS/extra · GitHub](https://github.com/MustardOS/extra/releases/tag/release-20260504-013709)

Download the `.muxzip` file for what you want to install, move that file to the `ARCHIVE` folder on either sd1 or sd2, and inside MustardOS go to `Applications>Archive Manager`, select the core file and install with `A`.
