The language of the help package has to match the user interface 
language (set under Edit > Preferences > Interface > Language). I had 
that problem a while back; in my case, I'd installed the UK English 
(en_GB) help, but the interface was set to the default US English 
(en_US), so didn't detect the help package.

Not working for me either. Not even responding to ping, so looks like 
the server's down. Or blocked by my ISP (now Sky - Be having been bought 
out by them); a quick search it looks like they blocked gimp.org a while 
back.
