Hi prowler,
Sorry to hear that! May I know what is your location and internet connection speed? Have you authorized the application to be able to use internet? Are you behind a router/firewall which may block the program? As you can see the server is up and running, so it must be a local problem specific to your internet setup on your computer. Please check the above and after making sure the program can access internet, try again.
I hope this helps,
Andras
