when I try to download the Zorin OS I get an error message saying [Fiddler] The socket connection to sourceforge.net failed.
ErrorCode: 10060.
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 216.34.181.60:80

I suspect this is down to some time outages and if you are using OpenDNS there have been issues lately! :D

Hi,

try a download from here:

Make sure you download the version you want, I just used that page as an example, look around their website if you need a different version!.

Over the last couple of days I have downloaded SolydXK mulit dvd and SolydXK BE and elementary OS all from sourceforge - there must be a problem at your ISP end?
