           Summary: KNewStuff (GHNS) not able to retrieve data from the
                    internet
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: matuki007-prog at yahoo.fr
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

When I try to use the GHNS (Get Hot New Stuff) from any supported application,
the following message is displayed- "Loading of providers from file
http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed"

KDE SC 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 11.04)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go in System settings -> Workspace Appearance -> Desktop Theme -> Get New
Themes... 
2. "Initialization" is displayed during a moment then the message "Loading of
providers from file http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed"  is
displayed
Actual Results:  
Can't retrieve new modules


Similiar to bug 250993 but I'm not using a proxy (but i have router configured
with IpV6 (freebox)).

If i add the following lines in my /etc/hosts, it works :
78.46.24.155    download.kde.org
78.46.24.155    files.kde.org
