No change, no new themes in the list.

Same problem here, exactly.

Although, 2-3 items in the download window list will download and show
in the selection list, sometimes.

For me, this only applies to some icon themes, clicking the Install

I tried all 50 latest themes, and I was able to install "Oxygen Refit
Black", "Snowish", "nuoveXT Black", "KDE Pro II Normal", and
"kde_win2k".

This means the code in the icons KCM works, but only for themes that
strictly follow some unpublished specs.

Some others are listed as installed in the GHNS dialog, but do not show
in icon theme list. Most themes do not even download. This usually means
the download is hosted on a different site instead of kde-look.org
directly.

This is a general GHNS provider problem. Reassigning to kdelibs.

The code is basically fine but the download links on kde-looks aren't
really. Many people seem to put links to anonymous download sites
(mediafire or similar) which will not work because they don't allow
direct download.

The only problem KNS2 has is that it should probably show an error in
case loading or extracting the icon theme doesn't work.

I'm unsure if this is a bug or a wishlist item, so I'll leave it a bug for now.
I'm also not sure if this only applies to icons, so if it doesn't, please 
change the bug description.

This happens for me with splash screens.
kdebase4-workspace-4.3.90-3mdv2010.1.src.rpm on Mandriva Cooker. Very
annoying. For example, I cannot download the "Desert City" splash
screens theme.

See this Mandriva bug too:

Well, with KDE-4.5.71 on Mandriva Cooker after installing a non-
available splash screen file (such as "KDE kastle"), I'm getting
<<Download of "KDE kastle " failed, error: The file or folder
http://www.filedropper.com/kstletar does not exist." (only I need to
resize to see it all). The the theme's install button is giving me
"Installing" and is greyed out and there's no way to release it without
closing the dialogue (or to dismiss the dialog).

So it's better than before, but still not perfect. Furthermore, why do
we have to suffer through this entire issue of themes that are listed
and rated but cannot be downloaded? Why can't kde-look host or mirror
the files locally?
