Description

Dear

When I try to look for plugins within the Qgis(2.4) console I get the following error. I tried to open the message log but it does not open. I've currently installed the plugins manually but I'd like to know if I can solve this.

Error: A network request timed out, any data received is likely incomplete. Please check the message.log for further info.

Friendly regards
Jens

Dear

Thanks for the fast reply, the problem is that I cant open the message.log, when I click on the link in the error it does nothing. And I can't locate it in the folders aswell. Do you know by chance where it is located ?

Most probably a local issue with connection (proxy, etc.).
Does internet access from other parts of QGIS work? (e.g. WMS, WFS, OpenLayers plugin, etc.)?

Well indeed, the device is located in a business network so our proxy is probably blocking traffic. But why can't I click to open the message.log ? I would be able to see the cause for sure.

There is no file message.log. The message probably mentions the message log, which means the log message panel also available via View/Panels/Messages (or empty area near the toolbars or the yellow sign on the bottom right - if there are new messages and the window is hidden). What does the message pointing you there exactly say?
