Hi, I’m trying to download KNIME but I’m having connection problems. ![image](https://forum-cdn.knime.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/9/19020a4c2183632bcc85c2c4b137bed4dc3488dc.png) ---

Update… I tried a few times and it wouldn’t download. I changed my location via VPN and the download started. It would be a good idea to check this, considering other people might experience similar problems. ---

I uninstalled KNIME and managed to reinstall it, but now I’m getting this error when I try to update. Even if I add the following line to KNIME.ini or try restarting with different VPNs (USA, Germany, etc.), it doesn’t work. I think there’s a connection problem with the KNIME servers today. -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.connectTimeout=30000 -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.readTimeout=60000 ![image](https://forum-cdn.knime.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/8/78b5ada97aba5ad7b6645fde2b946fc8a560e3aa.png) ---
