Errors in PDE Contributions Manager?

jeremydouglass

Is anyone else seeing errors in the Processing IDE Contributions Manager?

I'm seeing a lot of weird stuff:

1. a pink error message panel: "Could not connect to the Processing server. Contributions cannot be installed or updated without an Internet connection. Please verify your network connection again, then try connecting again." All my other network traffic is normal.
2. Non-installed tools unexpectedly all show "installed" in the panel with greyed-out buttons. They show no checkboxes, however.

Sketch console dumps an HTTP 500 connection error log on Contributions Manager launch:
