Hi,

My HTPC runs XBMC 14.0 ALPHA1. For some reason it is returning errors when searching.
OpenSubtitles.org doesn't give any feedback in the log but Podnapisi returns the following:

Now I have to say I'm having an issue with SABNZBD as well since its download speed stays at 0 kb/s while its not paused or anything.
Checked if the HTPC had a proper internet connection with a ping to Google's DNS server. (successfully)

Any suggestions?

Alpha1 isn't supported anymore. Install latest nightly build

While performing an apt-get update I figured it out.
Seems my DNS is not configured properly.
