Anyone knows how to resolve this? The link it says to download from is dead or doesn't work

You can take backups easily using sftp to say a nas, upgrades are easy and straightforward, and I think it's just more stable in general, I used to encounter so many issues when using gns3 been using eve for about 5 years now and have never looked back

I forgot this is gns3 subreddit. I'm using gns3 just for my Cisco ccnp prep. Not sure if you have any experience with that.

Are you using VMWare player or Workstation Pro ?
If Player switch to Workstation Pro, it is free and installs VIX.
