Hi there.

Modded or unmodded install? Depending on which, I (or another mod) should really move this to the modded, or unmodded, support forums.

Good luck getting your problem sorted.

Are you using Steam or just the normal KSP installer?

You get that if your computer thinks it has internet, but doesn't get anything on the update feed check.

Switch your wifi completely off, or gonnect to a viable internet source. Never half-way inbetween.

I've had this problem frequently with Steam, the solution for me (and many others according to my research) is to turn off anti-virus scanner temporarily.
