The most recent development build available at https://qb64.org/index.php/development-builds/ (https://qb64.org/index.php/development-builds/) has been patched to allow updating the offline wiki from the Help menu. It has also been updated so the "View On Wiki" button in the help system will properly point to the new wiki url, https://wiki.qb64.org (https://wiki.qb64.org)
The help update now relies on curl (https://curl.se/) to download from our website, so that's a requirement. Most modern systems will have it by default.
If you are not on the latest dev build, please refrain from using the help update feature, as it'll not only fail to work, but it could also hog our servers since there would be too many invalid url requests.
Here's the latest changelog, for reference, in case you guys want to help us test it before the next release: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QB64Team/qb64/development/CHANGELOG.md

Wouldn't it be better to integrate libcurl (https://curl.se/libcurl/) into the parts system directly and let TCP/IP connections run through it. Some additional keywords could also provide direct downloads (replacing the old wiki based download function) for everybody or FTP transfers, which is now done through @SpriggsySpriggs API libraries.

We're doing a quick fix so people can have it as we go. Luke is in the planning stages to allow us to have native https downloading, so consider this a patch until then.

Ok, 👍sounds good.

Sounds good.
Does this mean that a native QB64 command to send/receive https is in the works? That would be hugely useful.
PS R.I.P. meatloaf!
