I was trying to draw a switching circuit using circuitikz package. But I got an error that circuitikz.sty file is missing. Then I tried to update MiKTeX Console having an idea how to install packages from here. Following this, I received another error that 'A connection to ims.jit.ac.in could not be established. More info: miktex.org/kb/fix-couldnt-connect'. Then I uninstalled the MiKTeX (version most probably 2.9) and reinstalled the newest (version 20.12). Now I am getting the error : File `amsthm.sty' not found. \usepackage.

Everytime I go for an update, whether it's miktex update or any package update, I get 'SSL connect error' and the copy error button gives me:

Note: I am also not able to check update for the new MiKTeX version.

    Seems the repo you are trying to connect to is down (currently https://ims.jit.ac.in/repo/tex-archive/ shows that it is unavailable). Try changing the repository/mirror to a different site https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56783/how-can-i-change-the-package-repository – Willie Wong Apr 27 '21 at 02:57
  • @WillieWong I changed the package source by setting a proxy. Since ims.jit.ac.in was not working, i chose mirrors.sustech.edu.cn from China. Will it cause any legal issue? – Manjoy Das Apr 27 '21 at 09:06
  • IANAL, but all repositories listed at https://miktex.org/pkg/repositories should be publicly available. – Willie Wong Apr 27 '21 at 13:12
  • @WillieWong after choosing the above proxy, when I set back to random package repository on the internet, again the error message is popping up which means that the problem is not solved completely. Would you like to suggest something for that? – Manjoy Das Apr 27 '21 at 15:55
  • This appears to be the same as https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/594597 which has a workable answer. – barbara beeton May 23 '21 at 22:12
  • Does this answer your question? Miktex and package update – Zarko May 24 '21 at 09:20
