Well the connection failed. This could be temporarly (but I had no
problems to connect when I tried now) or something on your PC is
blocking (firewall, proxy ...). 

You could download the packages from CTAN
(www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages) with
some other tools (wget) and move them to some folder and use them as
local repository.
