Anything Vista+/Mac OS10.4+ has TLS turned on by default. It was made available in XP, if you turned it on. -Nick On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 10:30 AM, Tom Chiverton wrote: > On 04/02/15 15:23, Alex Harui wrote: > >> I wonder if on Windows, the Installer should pop an alert when finding a >> download error and suggest that folks use Internet Explorer to hit the >> failing download. >> > > At the very least, it'll provide an immediate data point if they report > it, and may aid people in self-diagnosing the issue. > > TLS 1.x is fast becoming mandatory for SSL connections.

Hi Paul, Thanks for finding that. I wonder if on Windows, the Installer should pop an alert when finding a download error and suggest that folks use Internet Explorer to hit the failing download.

The IE 'internet options' are actually the Windows internet options, it's a left over from when IE was illegally tied to Windows. The question is what are the default settings there - if the defaults are for those options to be on we don't need to worry ?
