          I doubt this will help troubleshoot but, when I updated to 66.0.3515.44, I see this in the debug log:

            Try Fiddler app, once the blocked URLs / IPs appear, search them on HOSTS file, router blocking tab, change DNS...

              @zalex108 Well, isn't that a neat little tool. Thanks for the suggestion. However, it doesn't show any errors - HTTP 200 across the board, including http://autoupdate.geo.opera.com:443 (which, I assume, is the auto-updater pinging) and http://extension-updates.opera.com:443. What's confusing is that these use http as the scheme but go over port 443 (secure). I'm sure there's a reason but that's the only noticeable oddity. Other thoughts?

                I don't know.

                Try pinging them.
                If they showed as non blocked should respond then is quite extrange. 馃

                      @leocg I'm sorry but I don't understand the question. I'm not aware of any setting in Opera to limit the connection (and I just did a search to check). And I've tried the update with VPN both on and off. If you're referring to Windows overall, no, I don't have any limits set (as far as I know) and have more than ample connection speed. Can you be more specific please?

                        Do you have a custom Hosts file or DNS?

                        Try disabling the Hosts file and with Google DNS 8.8.8.8 or Open 1.1.1.1.

                          @zalex108 I had a custom Hosts file to block much of Microsoft's crap tracking but just got rid of it and also tried Google DNS. Same problem.

                                    @leocg Thanks for the clarification - no, I don't have any limits set on Windows. Is there some specific setting you suspect? I'll be happy to check it.

                                        @nvmjustagirl Actually, some of the pings did work, which you can see in the post - I included the pings that didn't in case that lent any clues.
