Error downloading boards

[kritch83]

I am getting the following error trying to install the Sparkfun SAMD Boards 1.8.3. It can't locate the file referenced in the boards file. I am going by the Sparkfun install boards manager page and have done this a hundred times... I am getting this error on the two computers I tested it on and when trying to downgrade the library thats already installed. Cant find file...

Thanks for reporting @kritch83. I think we fixed it with this PR. I'm able to install SAMD boards now. Please try again and let us know if it's still an issue.
