I know there are a lot of these topics out there, but none were useful for me. I’m using the jMonkeyPlatform Alpha-4 that I downloaded from the NightlyBuilds page. I tried reinstalling (also checked the box where it asked me whether I wanted to remove some folder on my AppData dir), installing the stable version and waited for hours for it to update.
My issue is the following: I want to get the Blender Plugin (the one that lets you load an asset from within the .blender project), but whenever I try to start the plugin window, it just freezes. I am able to close it and open a new window though. The plugin window just freezes when it’s “Initializing the plugin list”. I’ve had some issues with the plugin feature before. Whenever I tried to update my IDE, it would not download the updates at all, being stuck on 4% or 2% for hours.
Is there a way to just install the blender plugin manually?
Is it just me or has anyone been having the same problem?
Thank you in advance,

No idea, never heard of this.
One idea: Do you have any firewall / virus protection software running?
Nopes. It was the first thing I checked.
Update: I stayed for an hour on the plugin list and it now shows the available plugins. I then checked the Blender Plugin and clicked on the Install button. Now it’s stuck on 24% since then (on the Datasystems API part).
Seems your connection is just veeeery veeeery slow… oO
Well it’s 5MB according to the speed test I just did and from my internet provider’s information. I’m pretty sure it’s not my internet.
BTW, it’s still on 24%.
Can’t I just download the plugin manually?
Yeah, where the updater downloads it from:

Alright. Thanks! I’ll try it right now!

do you mean 5Mb?
Run the updates in safemode.
jMP is not updating here either. I tried 2 months ago and had the same problem… How can I run the updates in safemode? I’m running a freshly installed alpha 4.
Reboot your PC and before it starts (Windows logo shows up) press F8. Then choose safe mode.
Ahh like that. I doubt that is going to work :S I heard there were some problems with a router before, is that still the case?

No, the server is connected to a completely different backbone now. Why you come here for help just to doubt people? If I were you I'd at least try that, windows seems to mess up its user rights pretty badly sometimes, in safe mode they are largely disabled afaik.
Yes, I will try it. I never encountered a similar problem with Netbeans, thats why I doubted it.
Wow, such a bizarre fix, but it worked! So happy 
Thanks, all!
