Description

I keep getting a

" Unable to connect to the NetBeans Distribution because of Zero sized file reported at http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.0.2/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz?unique=NB_EXTIDE_JAVA0bb385070-60b4-4c2c-9717-dc69c2badd43_c44914d9-a017-44c1-ae24-1018907450f3"

error whenever I check for new plugins. I wanted to create a new Maven web application but I need the Java EE plugin to do so.

 

I tried :-

Turning off Windows Firewall

Adding NetBeans.exe to Allowed applications list in Windows Firewall menu

Changing proxy settings to system default

Re-installing NetBeans

Downloading the plugin manually (i get a connection is reset error on every plugins.netbeans link)

Using a different PC

 

All of them and still no hope...I'd really appreciate if someone can shine some light onto this frustrating situation..thanks in advance.
