What am I missing?

To further clarify, I get the plugin list and I’m able to select what I want, but after allowing Notepad++ to restart, the download never goes further than 0% and Notepad++ simply launches again, as it was before.

A little side symptom is that the list on Plugin Admin won’t scroll with the mouse wheel, but it did so when I used a portable installation (which could also download plugins normally).

Btw, the reason for this new build is that I decided to switch from x64, which worked fine, but missed lacked some plugins I wanted (Tidy1 and TextFX).
