That's no error, that's normal.

It's not an error, that's all. INFO means "normal operation".

Well, even if you download hosts from the HOSTLISTURL, your gnunetd will first 
attempt to confirm that it can connect (!) to them before storing them in 
data/hosts/. Which means that if your network is not setup correctly (e.g. 
you can not connect to the outside, no transports configured, firewall, NAT) 
and those peers do not reply, the advertisements are *discarded* (after a 
while in memory). So I would suggest to check your network configuration.

http://www.ovmj.org/GNUnet/hosts/
has always contained the host advertisements directly. But even if you 
download all of these, I seriously doubt it will make any difference since 
the problem is very likely not to be the HOSTLISTURL.
