Description Steevithak 2015-11-10 19:09:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
I installed the torbrowser-launcher package on a fresh Fedora 22 install and attempted to start it. It produces this error message on startup and fails to start.

Error starting download
Connection was refused by other side: 111:
Connection refused
Are you connected to the internet?

I am, in fact connected to the internet and don't see anything obvious wrong. The error message seems inadequate to diagnose the problem. What connection? What IP address and port is it attempting to connect to? Is '111' a port number? an error code? 

Because this happens on startup, it makes the browser unusable since it never loads. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
torbrowser-launcher.noarch_0.2.0-1.fc22

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F22
2. Install torbrowser-launcher
3. Attempt to start tor browser from menu

Actual results:
Fails with cryptic error message

Expected results:
Tor browser starts

Additional info:
Not sure what you need but happy to provide what ever I can. I've never used the torbrowser-launcher before, so I really have no idea how to diagnose the problem or what data might help with the bug report.
Comment 1 Robert Mayr 2015-11-10 20:14:33 UTC 
Yeah, this issue is known and has been fixed with the latest release, which is still in updates-testing.
dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update torbrowser-launcher

should install release 0.2.1-1. I'm also going to build another release in the next days. Thanks for reporting this.
