Updater not connecting

[crido]

When I launch the map updater I get this message:

Checking Database
Failed to download Database
Error downloading File:

Failed to download Database

I tried going to eq2interface.com through Internet Explorer to check out the forums about this but IE wouldn't connect to the website (connects to other sites though). AOL, which I also use, would connect which is how I'm writing this.
As the updater uses IE to download files, I'm a bit puzzled as to what the heck is the problem.
Any ideas?
