I can’t seem to find the actual download link for Fedora Media Writer (for Windows 11). The download page references the doc page which references the download page it was referenced from.
I dug up an older version online but it keeps crashing and doesn’t write properly.
Where do I find the latest stable version for Fedora Media Writer?
Thanks
Added fedora-media-writer and removed workstation
websearch for “fedora media writer” lead me here Preparing Boot Media :: Fedora Docs
Found the github here: Releases · FedoraQt/MediaWriter (github.com)
The Fedora Media Writer download link is not found at Fedora Workstation | The Fedora Project
This could be a broken link , can someone let me know how can I report it
A post to this forum with the websites-and-apps-team tag should notify the right people.
Edit: In the meanwhile, these appear to be the current links to Fedora Media Writer:
Many Thanks , I contacted the website and apps team
The website should be fixed now. If the links still aren’t showing for you, try force-refreshing the page by pressing ctrl+f5. Thanks for notifying us about this problem!
looks good, Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
The link from this page says
Download the latest Macintosh Disk Image (the package will have a .dmg extension) from [GetFedora.org](https://getfedora.org).
Which is just the front page. I’ve been through all the options and the FMW is not listed.
Fedora Workstation | The Fedora Project has links to Fedora media writer for Win, Mac, and Linux.
Thanks for the direct link, but my point is that one has to click Get Fedora > Workstation to see it. I don’t want workstation, so went to server and FMW is not linked on this page ie. it’s insufficiently signalled on the site for easy access and requires my to post in a forum.
It looks like there is already an open ticket for this: Use Fedora Media Writer on all download pages (#218) · Issues · fedora / Fedora Websites and Apps / Fedora Websites / fedora-websites-3.0 · GitLab I’ll start working on getting this implemented.
Hello Greg,
Need your help once more, I am unable to login to the community to report this issue, can you help or advise how I can reach the team. When I click on login I get this page please see attached screenshot. I need to report that FMW direct download links are not functional anymore.
Direct Download links are again not working for Fedora MEdia Writer (https://fedoraproject.org/en/workstation/download)
Thanks for your help

Hi Ishtiaq.
What URL is that screenshot from? It shows “© 2010 Red Hat”, so I think it must be some old page that Fedora isn’t supporting anymore. Maybe you need to update your bookmarks?
As for the download links, “not working” is a little vague. Are you getting an error code or message such as 404 (not found) or 500 (something went wrong server-side). You might get be able to get more detailed information about what the problem is by using a command like the following.
curl -LOv https://fedoraproject.org/fmw/FedoraMediaWriter-win32-latest.exe
Thanks for your prompt response,
I overlooked that I was using a bookmark to getfedora.org which I realised a bit later after sending the email to you, sorry about that
If I go to https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download , then on the landing page I can see the link to download fedora media writer, but it takes me to GitHub page
https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/releases/tag/5.2.3
I believe the direct download link is broken ? I was earlier able to download the fmw directly by clicking on the link, can you check and help with this please?

The “direct” link is https://fedoraproject.org/fmw/FedoraMediaWriter-win32-latest.exe. However, I suspect that is a redirect that has to be manually updated by someone on Fedora’s infra team whenever a new version of Fedora Media Writer is released. Consequently, the direct link might not be up-to-date and it is also possible that your browser has “cached” the old/outdated redirect. I would consider that direct link as unreliable (possibly unsupported) and suggest that you use the GitHub landing page. Is there a reason that the GitHub page will not work for you?
One of the reasons is that we want our students/candidates who sign up to take remote exam can download the fmw directly without the need to navigate and select from multiple options.
We provide this link to students and customers in our ebook(manual), let me discuss with my colleagues and explore the possibility of using the direct download link you have suggested.
Thanks for your timely response, I am traveling for the next two days, but I will drop a message if I have any further questions.
Best regards,
Ishtiaq Ahmed
Another reason to let them choose the file for windows and mac
I would give them this link:
https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/releases/latest
