Could be I overlooked maybe another topic where same problem is expressed but can't find anything......just started using AMC and looks great but I get a problem when trying to import movie info with scripts of IMDB.

It tries to connect to an IP but he doesn't manage to get there.
Error: Socket error #10060, Connection timed out
I use AMC 3.4.0 and don't have a firewall or so.....so don't know whats holding it :cry:

if edonkey or any P2P software is running, maybe you reach the maximum connections windows can accept (if you are under win9x)
else try the new version of the script package :

nopes its not bout an maximum amount of connections holding me, also turned of the scans scriptblocker so that can't be the reason either
I replaced the scripts with your newer package but that doesn't help either, its weird :??:

Last time that somebody had this error, it was a proxy problem.
Do you usually use a proxy ? What's your ISP ?

i stopped using proxies because in some cases it slows your connection
proxies can make your connections faster in most usual cases but i noticed that i can't reach some web sites using it.
So try to disable it, it may be fix your problem

Actually some ISP need to use a proxy
The case where a proxy was needed and when the program gave the Winsock error #10060 it was somebody that was using Telenet (proxy.pandora.be I think). Since you also use Telenet (I saw your IP address since I am admin :D), you should try to set proxy.pandora.be as proxy server, and 8080 as port..
