I will talk with my network administrator in the next monday, let see what happens...

Hi Mahmud,
As Prof Ripley wrote, it is probably your internet connection. If port
80 isn't working, you won't be able to download from anything. See if
you can get Google - if you can't it's likely that you'll have to sort
out the internet connection.
