For temporary solution, you can download the source files directly off of Magento Connect using this tool:

http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php and then upload them manually!

Or Try Delete Var/Cache Files and use Set Permission of the magento root directory use:

sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Sites
