I have just reverted to Java 6 until I can investigate further.

My internet connection is fine.

The only other Java application I use regurlarly is Minecraft and that is fine. However upon further investigation the problem does seem to lie with the Java install as I cannot run other applets successfully.

I can now look up some files on TVRage but all other sources are still giving the same timeout exception. I am testing with files(including movies) that have previously been renamed by Filebot so it should be able to find them.

I have tried all sources with the same result. If I uninstall Java 7 then it connects to the server without issue.

I have FileBot_3.0_x64.msi installed and I get a SocketTimeoutException: connect time out when attempting to match names. Program works perfectly with Java 6 but not Java 7.
