Thank you for reporting. It's a problem with a mirror. Here is email I sent to admin:

Hi,

We noticed some potential problems with your mirror. .xz files are served as txt.

For example:
https://repo.jing.rocks/armbian-dl/uefi-x86/archive/Armbian_25.5.1_Uefi-x86_bookworm_current_6.12.28_minimal.img.xz

Can you check? Thank you.

BR, Igor

After this job finishes, mirror will be out of the pool, temporally. Here https://docs.armbian.com/Mirrors/#current-mirrors you can search for alternative download locations manually and try to use torrent - It is much faster.

I got a image, and flashed it with Rufus.

See attached:

I get an error when trying to upload...

 

Thanks for you reply.

Strange. Rufus ... does it support compressed .xz ? What are exact steps which lead to this error?

 

USB imager, as recommended, must work. I have manually tested some of those images and there were no problems.

Rufus was never tested nor recommended.
