Screenshot of error

In Tools > Options > HTML/JS > Node.js

There is an option to download sources for nodejs. I tried downloading the sources using the "Download" button, but it shows an error that the sources cannot be found.

I believe the issue is that nodejs has changed the release files from .tar.gz to .tar.xz

This would probably be broken for all releases of NB and not just the latest version. I tried the same on Linux and I got the same error and I had to manually download the file and provide the local path to the extracted sources.

I couldn't find an option in settings to change the URL for sources download, so I figured it was something that needed to be changed in the NB source code. 


Thanks,
Kenny.
