I wanted to make this a separate issue and not combine it with my sending BTC issues I was having the other day. Posting it here, to see if anyone else is having the issue.
I am running Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
I uninstalled Armory and Core. Cleared out all associated folders. Rebooted. Installed Core 11.2 and Armory 93.3. I went to the website to download it and only had the old version, 93.2, so I eventually found the link here on the forums. Ran Armory, started downloading so I wanted to check the announcements area and I still received the error in the log. I have Core 11.2 installed, Armory thinks I still have 11.0 running I think. I see the FETCHING error in the log but don't know why it is happening. I did notice Armory is sending my OS version and Armory version on the check, I assume that's for stats purposes? Since it's not working, I did turn it off.
