Thanks for the quick replies folks, apparently the one time it partially worked (accessing the site from the update filters feature which usually has given "Filters update from Internet (partially) failed ! / Unable to reach these filters sources: / *
http://gmic.eu/gimp_update1661.gmic" ) it "broke" the installation enough I needed to remove both GMIC & Gimp, do a system restore and reinstall UGH!.
From what I've read while slowly beating WinDoze into submission during the restore, I need to download 1.6.8 as an exe and install it anyway…
The inability to reach any pages @ h^^p://gmic.eu [or h^^ps://gmic.eu ] has been consistent since sometime late last week and has occurred at all hours of the day, which suggests to me local congestion is unlikely to be the cause.
The issue also occurs consistently with the Chrome browser (normally using Firefox 43.0.1)
Wondering if NoScript settings (which I've been getting stricter about) could be influencing this…??? although I tried a few times with it globally disabled which ought to remove it as a problem…
This seems doubly unlikely as I have the same problem with time-outs on a MAC without NoScript…
I've not yet tried through someone else's connection and probably won't get a chance until Saturday
Is there any other source for the windows G'MIC installer? (ie not on h^^p://gmic.eu )
