That means there's a network error. :) In this case, I believe the store's servers are known to be kind of unstable right now.

Yes of course it means that there is a network error. Aren't these servers hosted by KDE?

No. They are hosted by Pling, which is owned by Blue Systems, a KDE Patron. But not KDE itself.
