I can't think of anything else that would be causing you timeouts. Let us know if changing locations helps.
I tried againi this morning. I went to the Install new software page and inserted
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/vtp/helios/ in the Work with box. The message in the lower right corner said: "fetching children of T ...ology_VTP:(0%)". It sat there fro a few minutes. Eventually it reached 50%, but then a popup appeared which said:
org.eclipse.eqinox.p2.core.ProvisionException" The details box repeated the same message and added "Connection timed out: connect".
The error log shows the same messages.
I am attempting this at a company site. They might be blocking the connection for some reason. I will try it again tonight from my home site.
If you can think of any other reason for this error, pleas elet me know.
Thanks,
Tom

I just went through the process on a clean eclipse and didn't seem to have any issues connecting to the update site. It may have been a temporary outage of the Eclipse download servers. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you.

I used Help, Install new software. Then I copied the http://download.eclipse.org/technology/vtp/helios site into the “work with”box and then hit “add”. Another box appeared with the title “Add repository”. It wanted the name and location filled in. I tried several options and could never get it to work. It just locked up my eclipse session.
Then I tried using the “available SoftwareSites” option. I was able to add the new site, but it still would not connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
What steps did you take when trying to install from the helios update site?
I am trying to install openVXML into my eclipse(helios). I tried the site that was mentioned in the forum, http://download.eclipse.org/technology/vtp/helios/
but I cannot access it. Is there another method I could use to install the software? I was able to download VTP-3.0_12008630.zip, which contains the jar files, but there is no install software. Can I simply copy the jar files to the eclipse/plugins or do I need to create a directory (maybe org.eclipse.vtp) in the plugins directory?
