Firewall/antivirus or other connection problem.

-------------------------------------

No, otherwise it wouldn't be able to check for updates. I never had these issues with earlier versions. I also don't have any connection problem with any other program.

Could you tell me what services does frd require to run correctly ?

You have to set up your proxy server properly too.
See readme.txt for a list of requirements.

I was asking for the required Windows services running on background (I optimised my system), and I don't use proxy or I'll have specified it. Know that I'm not a lambda user, I'm in it for more than 10 years, I know what I do, don't worry about that. And the log shows an "unknown source", not a connection problem.

Here a detailed description :

When I put a link, frd checks it, validates it, starts to download and then the status switches immediately to "Error - unknown host, maybe a conversion problem ?" (happening before getting any byte)

Howerver, frd can check for updates and also for the presence of files. So it can't be a connection problem.

Agree ?

[download.oracle.com]

Sounds like some kind of a DNS problem, did you disable any DNS-related services?

Although it sounds very strange that FRD is able to make any other requests than download requests.

yeah, DNS Client is disabled, I don't need it since I'm behind a rooter. It seems that it was a DNS issue, I don't know why or how, after updating my firewall it has been fixed although I made a specific rule. The problem appeared after the previous update, this is confusing. Whatever... thanks anyway
