Package manager failing to fetch

I have used package manager multiple times before, but now it tells me “Failed to fetch packages from source https://yak.rhino3d.com The GET timed out. Are you sure there is a package folder/server here?”

I’m trying to download “meshedit” and “weaverbird” to use with kangaroo. The following is my systeminformation.

Hi, @Melina_Ellvin.

Has this issue been resolved? Generally, this is often an Internet access issue related to Rhino. Is you computer managed by an IT department? Do you have an active firewall setup blocking Rhino from reaching the Internet? You may also want to check your “hosts” file and delete anything Rhino/McNeel related.
