[BUG] Minion wont download anything

[nerdgrind]

When i first installed minion, I was able to look through all of the available add-ons, but after i clicked on the "Download" button for the add-on it would eternally show a downloading bar and never actually download anything. I have since gone and manually downloaded the addons from the esoui website. But now (a couple of days later) i have opened up minion to see if it was working. Upon minion starting up, i was notified that minion, itself, has an update available. when i click on the "Update Now!" button, it also shows an updating bar that never moves or does anything. (i have also tried downloading/updating addons and it still has this problem) I have tried uninstalling minion and reinstalling, but that didnt solve anything.
