Unable to connect to updates repositories

Question

Hi all,
I have problems connecting to updates repositories from eclipse (Linux Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, Eclipse 3.7.1, Java 1.6.0).
Trying to connect to http:/ /download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo gives this log:
Quote:
Unable to read repository at http:/ /download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml.
Unable to read repository at http:/ /download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml.
Connection reset
Connecting to http:/ /download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7, 3.6, etc. gives similar results. (The "space" in links is on purpose, I can't post here links)
But connection to projects repositories like Mylin or ADT works fine.
I tried several solutions, none soleved my problem:
- Switched to official Sun JDK (1.6.0_25)
- Downloaded eclipse instead of using Ubuntu repository
- Defined in ini file "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" flag
- deleted cache folder
- Do not use proxy
- It's not a transport/firewall/antivirus problem
From what I see in "wireshark", eclipse tries to retrieve "content.xml" from the update repositories, this file isn't there and it gives up. For some strange reason it does not try to download the right file - compositeContent.jar.
I found a similar bug occurred only on 64 bit systems, but it was almost a year ago and it appears fixed.
Please help!
Eclipse version:
Version: 3.7.1
Build id: M20110909-1335
Java version:
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)
OS Version:
Ubuntu 11.10 - 64 bit

Hi Aleksander,
I really tried hard to develop a theory for your problem, but I must admit that I can't find any indications for a
software defect. That doesn't mean there aren't any. I looked especially carefully because of
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470900 but that's really not about "Connection reset". To be 100% sure,
please delete your ${user.home}/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.p2/cache folder. Again, I would bet that it doesn't address
your problem. But then I'd have no better theory than network-level issues on your end.
Cheers
