Plugin manager fails with error

Hi

New to jEdit but experiencing a persistent problem when trying to 
install plugins. The plugin manager repeatedly fails with "Error while 
downloading the plugin, please try another mirror". Except trying lots 
of other mirrors and different machines/locations over a number of days 
consistently produces the same outcome. Now either all the mirrors are 
simultaneously broken all of the time or there is an issue!

I am aware this problem seems to have been raised a number of times over 
the years but I cannot find any resolution other than advice to try a 
different mirror... which definitely does not solve it for me. (FWIW: I 
can install plugins manually but this is a real pain due to slow 
download speeds and the need to satisfy undocumented dependencies that 
do not become apparent until you try to run the program.)

Is there any definitive advice here on the issue with the plugin manager?

Using jEdit 5.3.0 & openjdk-8.


Peter
