EVERY 4D image dated prior to 2-2-14 has a major bug with the plugins, none of them can be downloaded. This doesnt stop you from using the image or manually installing anything, but it does mean that adding anything via the remote and download server, is now impossible. If you dont want to go the full reflash route to get things working again, heres how to do it :)

in a FTP browser, navigate to the folder etc/opkg, and open the following files

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

in these files, you will see something similar to the following

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

What has changed, is the actual URL that the receiver connects to, this is the only bit you need to change in each file, so, the bit highlighted in red above, change to

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

so your new file now reads

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

and save it back to the receiver

change this URL in all 4 files, then restart enigma

once you have restarted, open a telnet window, and telnet into the receiver, and issue the command

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

and your plugins are now all available via the remote again

;)
