Whenever I attempt to download a new plugin, jEdit displays the following error message:

an i/o error occurred(no route to host: connect)

Before posting here, I tried to search for similar problems in the forum. The only message I found included a suggestion to configure jEdit to use a proxy, if the user was using a proxy. But I am not, so I am hoping someone has some other advice.

I can see the list of plugins, so it seems to me that I am able to connect to some list on a server somewhere. The progress bar runs to approx 50% and then displays the error message.

Thanks in advance.
