Hi all. I am trying to use jEdit, but can’t seem to download  
any plugins. I go to Plugin Manager, and select Download  
options. I update the mirro and can see lots of servers.  
I select the first (plugin central default) and say apply.  
In the Update dialogues bottom window, I see a msg saying  
"Dowloading plugin list from [jedit.plugins.org](http://jedit.plugins.org) but after  
a couple seconds it disappears. Inveitably when I select  
Console and the click install, it give me "An I/0 error  
occurred (Connection refused: connect)

If anyone knows why i can’t connect, in info about it would be  
a big help.

Thanks in advance…

Hello Bill,

I think, a better forum for jEdit related questions is  
[http://community.jedit.org/](http://community.jedit.org/) . But I like using jEdit for Ruby, too. I’m  
on Windows. As Mirror, I choose “Lausanne, Swizerland” and this works  
fine for me.

You can install plugins manually, see  
[jEdit - Plugin Installation](http://plugins.jedit.org/install.php). But installing automaticly works  
very fine at my side.

I’ve had this happen. Try to go to your settings (global settings, I  
think) & change the download mirror, and then try again.
