Nuget Sitefinity Repository down? - nuget

Is http://nuget.sitefinity.com/nuget working for you guys as a Nuget package source? We are getting the following error:
This has been happening since January 19th 3 PM GMT.

I made a phone call to telerik to tell them, "your nuget server is down". As you can see, it's up again :-)
Sidenode:
-> If you have the packages local and a nuget feed will get down for some hours... Just don't include those feeds, then it will install the local packages (if available) without conntact any server.

How often does NuGet package gets updated?

I'm using NuGet to manage libraries used in my solution. But I wonder how often the libraries inside NuGet gets updated. For example, on 10 April 2019, jQuery 3.4.0 has been released, but as of today, the latest jQuery package on NuGet is more than 1 year old.
3.3.1 2,970,912 1/22/2018
I need to manually download the jQuery library from their website in order to use the latest version, but this beats the advantage of using NuGet. So my question is that how often is this updated? Is someone from Microsoft needs to add the library manually every time? Or does the library developer has to push the updates to NuGet (and I wonder why they have not done so if this is the case - now is more than 2 weeks after release date)?

proget add package from nuget.org

I would like to add a few packages to proget from nuget.org.
For example I am trying to add NLog but get an error:
The package could not be installed.
The package was not found in the remote repository.
It seems to work if I download the packages to disk first and then upload them.
Same problem here. This seems specific to NLog though, as I can install other packages just fine (e.g. log4net, nlog.config). I used https://www.nuget.org/api/v2 as the feed though (slightly different from yours #Damian). I've reported it to the ProGet support team, let's see.

NuGet Installation of EntityFramework

I have been doing some testing between VS2015 and VS2017. I created a .NetFrameworkApp and a .NetCoreApp website in both systems. I then installed a couple of packages in all four websites; in particular EntitytFramework. It installed in both VS2015 websites and the VS2017 .NetFrameworkApp website without problem but it wouldn't install in the VS2017 .NETCoreApp website. I got the following error messages.
net45 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5)
One or more packages are incompatible with .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1.
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'RLSBCWebSite_NC'.
Time Elapsed: 00:00:01.4470850
Error Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'RLSBCWebSite_NC'. 0
Anyone any idea why that should be. I am assuming it should install otherwise how would you use CodeFirst etc.
The "EntityFramework" package is not supported with .NET Core App, use the:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
package instead

SymbolSource Nightmare

So after hours of jumping through hoops, I have gotten SymbolSource running except I am unable to push any packages. The error I am getting now is:
Response status code does not indicate success:
418 (Reading package metadata failed: The schema version of 'MyNugetPackage'
is incompatible with version 2.1.31002.9028 of NuGet. Please upgrade NuGet
to the latest version from See http://www.symbolsource.org/Public/Home/Help
for possible reasons. Fiddler may help diagnosing this error if your client
discards attached detailed information.).
First problem is that you can no longer download the command line version of v2.1.3 of Nuget. I tried the the oldest version available: v2.8.6 but I get the same error. Second problem is it looks like SymbolSource.Server.Basic hasn't been touched in 3 years. Is this project dead? Am I wasting my time? I can't find any other alternative for debugging nuget packages without publishing to a third party service (which my company won't allow)?
The Symbol Server project master branch hasn't been touched for 4 years as of writing, and there is a queue of pull requests and issues left open for even longer.
There is an 'upgrade' branch which hasn't been touched since 2014, but that has updated NuGet version.
There is a slightly more recent fork at https://github.com/TrabacchinLuigi/SymbolSource.Community/tree/upgrade
which uses more recent versions of NuGet. Also have a look at the GitHub 'network' for other potential maintained forks: https://github.com/SymbolSource/SymbolSource.Community/network
And alternative hosting solutions include:
https://inedo.com/proget
https://github.com/GitTools/GitLink
Edit -- I got my own version running:

VS 2015 CTP 6 Nuget Package Source

After installing VS 2015 CTP 6 it added the following url to Available Package Sources:
https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
and turned off the following:
https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/
When it did this it stopped downloading all nuget packages. I switched it back to the old one and everything is working again.
One thing I noticed is that the old feed is xml and the new one is json.
NOTE: I did upgrade the Nuget Package Manager after installing VS 2015 CTP 6.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Example Error:
Error: FindPackagesById: System.Threading.Tasks Response status code
does not indicate success: 400 (One of the request inputs is out of
range.).
Known bug. It can be seen here:
