Connection refused when downloading Stage 3

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install Gentoo with a minimal installation CD on a virtual machine but I got stuck at the downloading of the Stage3. The error message obtained with the link command is "Error loading .... connection refused" whenever I try to download the tarball (-->download --> click over stage 3) or connecting to a mirror. When trying to download the file link shows the statuses "Making connection" and "Making connection to another address".

The ping is working.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Paolo

What page are you on when you're trying to download the stage3?

It gives me the same error also when downloading from the browser in the live cd. I am able to browse normally (I am currently on the live cd) but when I try to downloads the files I get "unable to connect".

Can your virtual machine download from non gentoo related sites?
Proxy-server?
Firewall?
" wget -O outputFile http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20180218/systemd/stage3-amd64-systemd-20180218.tar.bz2 " works perfectly from a real machine at 0900 EST 22 February 2018 with no firewall and no proxy.
