Launcher Updater Error:Help please?

I've downloaded Eastern Front a while back when my friend recommended it. I then downloaded Patch 1.01 manually and then didn't bother to check for more.

But now a problem arises in my Launcher, which is version 2.4.

I have NO PROBLEM downloading manually, and I am in 1.04, but I want to keep updated for the future and not have to scramble through the forums for the manual links.

When I check for updates, the following error message appears:

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."

My info says I now have launcher 3.1, and I STILL have the same problem.

Do I need to download a fix for this or something? ???

I am the only user account on the computer with administrative access. Can someone help me out? PLEASE?  :o

The patching server is currently down.

Okay, great, thanks! I was wondering if there was a corrupted file with my download or something. Any idea when It'll be back up?  :D

They're thinking sometime after OSteer comes out ;)

Okay, great!

When the next patch is released.
