ok, that works. Very strange that kodi gets curl errors.
Only thing I can imagine is mint having another curl version or something.

Please enable curl trace logging in kodi settings(directly under debug logging), restart kodi, try to update the repo and provide a new log

Hmm, the OP's OS is 32 bit,
maybe it's somehow related?

AFAIK mint's libcurl package is from ubuntu.

@wsnipex I did what you asked for: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XtvBckkc

Code:

Curl::Debug - TEXT: Resolving timed out after 2055 milliseconds

Check your OS dns settings.
You could try google dns servers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Changed the DNS and it's still broken.

BTW I don't really think this is network related... I have Kodi on Windows on my other machine in the same network and it runs just fine.

I don't know what *you* think, but from your log I do know that curl fails to resove the dns name.
