Several students tell me they have issues with the automatic download of OpenKinect (but also sometimes with other librairies hosted on github). Could it be a DNS issue ? Someting else ?

Do you mean through the contribution manager?

That’s right, it doesn’t work through the contribution manager. It doesn’t even start, then a message says that it won’t be able to work.

Looking at the entry of OpenKinect in the [Contribution Source](http://download.processing.org/contribs) reveals that the library is hosted [here](http://shiffman.net/p5/libraries/openkinect_processing/openkinect_processing.zip). The library seems to be downloadable for me through the contribution manager and also through the direct link.
So I would guess there is something wrong with the infrastructure on your side. Try to download the library directly and if that does not work it is not processings fault.
