Your java runtime is trying to use ipv6 instead of ipv4 (the latest java 7 changed it to do that) You can pass -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to the runtime and it should fix this issue.

On the linux install in the spiral directory there is a script called "spiral", the last line of this script is

$JAVA $* -jar $INSTDIR/getdown-pro.jar $INSTDIR

if you change it to

$JAVA $* -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar $INSTDIR/getdown-pro.jar $INSTDIR

It should work. I haven't installed the windows version but I'm guessing they would use a batch file, in which case you would do something similar.
