If you are able to investigate that at some point, it could be really useful to know which particular service duplication creates the problem. As I said, I can't reproduce the problem here (I also tried on my Sam460LE in addition to my main X1000), even with the file with some duplicates, but of ...

Actually, as I just found out, Update 3 installs (among other things) a services file in SYS:Storage/Devs/Internet/ which seems (after a quick look, not a real test) to have those duplicates fixed. Its filedate is 13-May-2025.

@MazinKaesar, if you had not made any changes yourself to your services ...

To answer your last question first - I wasn't guessing/hoping, I knew - at least I had heard fellow testers and users having success with that procedure. Personally, I already had the partitions I tested on set up with Update 2 as well as AmiUpdate 2.58, and had backups of them so I could test just ...

And it's not Update 3 itself which solved the issue ...

But if you have an older AmiUpdate installed now, I'd recommend getting the newest (2.58) from amiupdate.net and install it first, then you will be able to use it to get Update 3 installed. It's the good old chicken and egg issue :-).

Alternatively, get the Update 3 archive yourself from Hyperion's ...
