Command Used:

> esrally --distribution-version=1.7.5

I have been trying to test on 1.7.5 which is located here:

**[https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.5.tar.gz](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.7.5.tar.gz)**

esrally seems to think it is located here:  
**[https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/tar/elasticsearch/1.7.5/elasticsearch-1.7.5.tar.gz](https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/tar/elasticsearch/1.7.5/elasticsearch-1.7.5.tar.gz)**

and fails miserably as shown here:

Is this not supported anymore? Could this be a bug? Thanks

Hi,

thanks for reporting this. This was indeed caused by an outdated download URL configuration. It's now [fixed](https://github.com/elastic/rally-teams/commit/1b54a38938de4a7aa8048815a2162339603173b9) (and similarly for 2.x). You just need to rerun Rally to get the fix automatically.

Daniel
