Can't download plugins

[pAuLiStErROX]

Hi, I'm new to LackeyCCG and I just downloaded the program yesterday.  I need help trying to figure out why I keep getting an error EVERY time I try to update ANY plugin.  I always get timed out.  I deleted the program and redownloaded it.  I still get the error.  I'm beginning to think this program is just a myth.  Please LackeyCCG Gods, help a lost soul.  I really want to play!

Watch the video tutorials and follow them step by step. http://lackeyccg.com/gettingstarted.html


What plugin are you having a problem with?

What operating system are you running, if its Windows 7 you need to run Lackey as administrator.. Then things should work fine

That is an error with windows, and if you have an up-to-date windows, you shouldn't need to run as an admin. If you DO need to run as admin, go update your OS.

I'm running windows vista.  I think that should be okay right?  I tried quite a few of the plugins and it would still give me the error message.  Is there something that needs to be done even before trying to update the plugins?

Did you follow the video tutorial exactly? Specifically, what plugin is causing this error?

[pAuLiStErROX]

I tried the Magic plugin and it gave me that error

What error?  "That" error is not particularly clear.

[pAuLiStErROX]

My fault, it says error: timed out while updating plugin

Im running Windows 7 64x and i have to run Lackey as admin..dont know how to upgrade Windows to not have to run as admin..

[pAuLiStErROX]

I tried running the program as the administrator and it still gave me that error message.

[Alastair]

That error is most often the result of a firewall or similiar program blocking Lackey from accessing the internet, which it needs to do in order to download and update plugins. Make sure lackeyccg.exe is allowed through your windows firewall, or whatever firewall application you happen to be using.

[pAuLiStErROX]

I fixed my firewall to allow LackeyCCG to run.  I did everything I could but to no avail, it still didn't work.  I still get that error message.  Well, I think I'm going to give up and throw myself into a moving bus.

Is there something that I need to do before I update a plugin?  All I do is just choose a game, choose the image size and then click update from URL right?
