Hi William.
there is a thread going on at Wilder's -
"The server appears to be down (or at least not responding) - I'm working on getting to the bottom of the issue. Javacool "

I thought they were releasing updates about two months appart lately. Just now I get the following which is new for me:
There was an error getting the update information file from the server. The server may be temporarily unavailable, or there may be a conflict with firewall software installed on your pc. The update information file may have also gotten corrupted during download.
