Two of those directory servers are wrong, copy + paste this instead: sscentral.sscuservers.net, ssdir.playsubspace.com, warpath.bluetoast.org, sharvil.nanavati.net, dir.cz.sshq.net Also, before downloading a zone, first remove it from the list (double click the zone's name so that it's not green), then click the download button and re-add the zones you want. In addition to this, make sure Continuum isn't being blocked by any firewalls you have running. They're generally the number one cause for preventing Continuum from connecting.
