Failed to retrieve configuration files from NordVPN #114

Hi Chad and others, I've been having the problem copy/pasted below since a few days. I can t sync with NordVPN anymore. I tried reinstalling and clearing the configs but to no success. I tried to telnet to downloads.nordcdn.com with port=443 and it works fine.

[phil:~]$ sudo nordnm sync     
[ERROR] [nordnm.utils]: Could not check PyPi for latest version.

Cheers for any help on this :)

I also noticed that https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/archives/servers/ovpn.zip takes about 2 minutes for the download to start. Probably that's why the connection is timing out...

After changing TIMEOUT=5 to TIMEOUT=500 in nordapi.py the error changed:

[ERROR] [nordnm.utils]: File is not a zip file
[ERROR] [nordnm.nordnm]: Failed to extract configuration files

It just looks like the server side which nordnm is trying to download from is not uploading the zip file properly. When I try to download the file from the web-browser using the url https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/archives/servers/ovpn.zip then it breaks halfway through the download.

Manually downloading ovpn.zip and extracting it to ~/.nordvpn/configs/ seems to have done the trick :)
