Normally Jon means he said something and then changed his mind. He hopes a moderator might delete this post for him.

Jon: You have been here long enough to know this. Yet you continuously made statements like this. Please think before you post. |

But is it not expected to show some update file, even if it is not the hoped for? I just tried it, and for me it doesn't give any links to update files for any device. Or am I supposed to do more than just opening the linked page in the browser?

But, that's not how I interpret Jon's post. I'm pretty sure he was stating it was broken because it still shows links for 3.19.5761 for most of the devices. |

Only the Aura One and the Aura Edition 2 show the new firmware. All the rest show 3.19.5761. I would expect to see new firmware for at least one older device. I have read of others getting the new firmware when syncing an H2O and an Aura HD.

And just so you know: The site makes no statement of the affiliate used, or the IP address used. Looking at the page code, it is using "Kobo" and "rakutenbooks" for the affiliate. Those are two of the later affiliates that get updates. And it is doing the check from your browser. Which means it is using your IP address. Or my IP address when I am visit the site. And based on past releases, that means I won't see the new firmware displayed on that page for three weeks. |

What affiliate does Kobo Utilities use when it checks for a new firmware? I'd like to keep tracks of these things to know what's what.

Based on what I have been saying, that should be easy to work out. But, in case the plugin can't find an affiliate on the device, or you choose the "Early adopter" option, it uses "whsmith".
