			I've been getting this error for 5+ days.
 
			Using FilterForge 6.003, Professional Edition beta on Mac OSX v10.11.6. Just checked v5.011 - which I just installed (upgrade from v5.010). Got the same error, then clicked on 'Retry'. This crashed FFv5.011) Hoping this can be addressed as soon as possible. Thanks in advance. --Shift Studio.  				 |

			I'm having the same issue, both checking update and dowloading filters give unable to connect to server error. What I usually do Is open ff5 instead and press the check update tab, It usually throws that error 1-2 times, then when I make a succesfull connection in 5 I open filter forge 6 and check updates there and It connects for some reason. After that I can download filters again. But when I close It the same issue comes back.

			@TeamHokusPokus.
 
			I came up with a very similar work-around. Painful, but do-able. Then, later, the problem went away. Go-figure. I haven't done any updates to software or hardware recently. --shift studio.  |
