I had this same exact problem a few weeks ago. I thought the server might just be down but it still is having the same issue.
When I try to install EPIC manually by downloading the zip file and pointing the software installer in Eclipse to the directory where the files are the thing sits there forever thinking about what to do, then it starts doing something and then thinks again forever and I just cancel it as it seems it's going to sit there forever.
I think I might have a clue to my problem. I think I may have the wrong version of Eclipse. This is the Java/Javascript version. What version of Eclipse should I use to install EPIC?
Please give me any advice you have, as well as advice for using EPIC and debugging etc with Perl.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I just tried with the same build of Eclipse as you reported - worked fine. It should not matter which distribution of Eclipse you use. I prefer "Eclipse Classic".

Hm, well I installed Eclipse classic and then tried again, it took a while but the update address I was using finally worked. It did take a while though.
Thanks.

You're probably using a wrong address for the update site. The correct address is: http://www.epic-ide.org/updates/testing
