Anyone know how to fix this?

Got the same after upgrade
any news ?
Identical issue
Quickstart 0.9 gives me this result every time. I am still at the phase where the script really helps me learn the right way to make sites. It's equivalent to giving a little kid stuck training wheels...
UPDATE: I read http://groups.drupal.org/node/131359 and it works. All set!
New Site Fails
Hello, I am a miserable newbie...but something similar happened a couple of months ago. I had been attempting to get VirtualBox and Quickstart up on a brand new host computer. I was very focused on putting everything on a drive that did not contain my Host OS or anything else. In my eagerness to get going, I did not follow the Quickstart youtube videos closely enough.
I realized that I had installed Quickstart on my C: drive by mistake. I used the uninstall function to remove VB and components. After following the directions more closely, I could not get anything but VB to run correctly. I finally discovered some leftover files on my C: drive. After deleting them, re-installing, and importing a new appliance, everything has worked very well. (Except the Drupal 7 theme and module installer function. I keep getting an FTP Server Error message. Hours of Forum reading leads me to believe it is a bug, but it is way over my head -- especially the suggested fixes which involve coding.)
Good luck.
A bug?
If you think this is a bug, you need to post this in the issue queue of the project, not in g.d.o.
But this doesn't sound like a Quickstart bug to me. It sounds like you still have a bad install of VirtualBox.
Check to see if you have a network connection to VirtualBox. It sounds like that's missing, which is preventing files to download.
Re: A Bug
Hello jns,
Just threw that last part in, maybe should not have included it without adding that there are loads of Forum/Bug reports at Drupal.org site. Search "FTP Server Error" and the text of the actual error message (for anybody who has it handy) and you will see all kinds of stuff. I first saw it in the documentation for Drupal that was running on my VM.
Part of my quirky situation is that I am often away from any internet connection for months at a time. I originally chose Quickstart because I wanted something to carry with me, something totally self contained and complete, so that I could try to learn/build a site in between chances to connect to the outside world. After reading the support stuff that was in my VM, I pasted one of the links into my Host machines browser. I found that the conversation and others had continued long after the original was saved in my Quickstart version.
At some point I saw a series of messages, including some from webchik herself, near a message that may have indicated the issue was closed. Too many hours of reading stuff too far over my head to be sure. I think this has had lots of coverage though.
VirtualBox is great and running smoothly now. I have created several VMs. I did hang one VM. Quickstart is running very well now too. Love what I've got so far!
Here is one link to FTP error stuff:

I don't suppose you have any advice on Git stuff, do you? Thanks!

FTP
I see there are many issues involving FTP, but frankly, the causes for these problems seem to be all over the map. I saw at least one that included a reference to Quickstart (http://drupal.org/node/967988#comment-4139290), but I still don't see a direct connection that makes this a Quickstart issue. If anything, the common thread is drupal.org.
Recently I had a problem of downloading files via Drush. This happened while I was at a Drupal Camp. At the same time I was having trouble I noticed another guy was able to perform the same commands without a problem. I was using Quickstart and he was not, so I might have blamed Quickstart or VirtualBox for the problem. However, I don't think they were to blame because when I got home I tried the same command again from the same setup and had no problem. The only difference I can see was that I was on a different Internet connection.
RE: Git... I noticed in another post you said "Where can I find non-technical Git stuff?" To be honest, I don't think there is a such a thing. By its nature, it is very technical and not something that can be learned quickly with a few shortcuts. However, that's just my experience. If you find a shortcut, let me know!
