My friend had never updated from the 1.9.3 version, and I've been trying to help sort it for him. I uninstalled the old version and got the new, but kept getting the "Ready...(Data is not cached old)" problem. Deleting the temp files only meant that a "Error retrieving add-on list" message appeared instead. I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it several times, spamming F5, but it keeps reloading with one of those two messages.

The usual error messages come out as:

Auto-retry of addon list load
Error During Download: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host 69.72.129.35:80

- with "Ready...(Data is not cached old)" at the bottom.

Any ideas? I'm lost.

Any other explanation? F5 and re-installing don't change anything, it's still just a blank list.

Tried that too. no result. :(

Had the same problem since yesterday. Tried reinstalling and still just a blank screen with "Ready" at the bottom.
