I've got a fresh install of OpenElec latest beta 3.95.1.
I can't install any add ons via the menu. I also can't install any addons via the .zip files.
Network is verified as working. My router shows a lot of 403 errors when my xbmc tries to download or install addons.
Any help would be great.

Anything... I've reinstalled from scratch... Downloaded the .zip from the correct Gotham repo...
Seriously... is there a RTFM error here>?

I'm sorry you are still having problems. If you are connecting to your router via WiFi I would try using an Ethernet cable. I know I'm clutching at straws, but I don't know what else to suggest. Did you buy the box + XBMC as a package from a supplier? If so, you may be able to get some support from him.

Having the same problem.
Add-Ons installed fine yesterday, today, no dice.
What I did notice, is that the skin package I tried installing is in the ~/.xbmc/addons/packages/ directory, and the message ERROR: DeleteFile - cant delete file </storage/.xbmc/addons/packages/package_name appears in the log after the curl messages.
I tried to install the zip file, but that failed as well.
As I said, it was working fine yesterday. I did install Confluence Custom Mod v3 though. hmmm. Will report back.
