I just upgraded to v7.09.7 and now get the error message: "Internet connection error" in Dutch. There is nothing wrong with my Internet connection: IE8 works perfectly. I also get the error when I disable Windows Firewall. I run Win 7 64bits.
I get the problem anytime I want to connect for update a movie. e.g. when I open "update manager", select movies, press "continue",selecta script & press "start". At this time the problem happens. A pop up tells me that there is a connection error and make 3 suggestions: connected to internet?, Firewall and Proxy. The eXtrem Download monitor show an empty URL field.
