Add-Ons Can't Download but SSH/FTP Work
#1
In the past year, I have been running various versions of XBMCFreak Live CDs on my Acer AspireRevo 1600 with no problems at all to speak of. When Dharma 3 was released, I tried a the official Live version through XBMC. I found that while the installation worked and I could log in via Putty and connect to the box through FTP, I could not download any add-ons. I see the list of add-ons and it even says Update Available for some but when I try to install any of them, they just stay stuck on Downloading 0%.

I've since tried the XBMCFreak Live CD and the official Dharma 3 version a few times but still cannot get add-ons to download. What could be wrong here? I assume it's a network issue of some kind but I don't even know what to start fiddling with... I've tried most things that I could think of.

Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've had the same problem with two diferent revo's that we've tried. Both with the official live install and XBMCFreak's install. RSS ticker comes up so i know there's net access, accessing shares over my internal network is fine, and i can access the addons list no problem. However if i try to download anything it stays stuck on 0%. I've since put OPENElec.tv version on both revo's and they work no problem. This makes me think it is a linux problem and not an XBMC problem, but i don't have the knowledge to investigate further. I've seen a few different people post with the same issue and i would suggest they try the OPENElec.tv version and see if it fixes their problems.
