'Unable to download patch files.'?

Ok, yea, I joined CF like, a year ago or so, and I am re-installing CF because I'm bored you know? So I'm almost down, all I need to do is download the patch files, and when it gets to a certain percentage, a window error pops up saying, 'Unable to download patch files.'. What is happening? What do I need to do? What do I need? WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?! lol...I think it did this the first time I played CF, I'm not sure.
