Check your internet connections carefully. And if you use proxy settings than also check it with authorization user name and password.

Also, go to your RS settings and check the box saying “Allow direct downloads”. Should solve all your problems.

Same problem for me too, was working on and off over the past few days. In the time it took to write the above it seems to be working again. But there must be something up in general.
