I see in your log :
Resolving host timed out: appdl.boxee.tv
seems like your internet connection fails to find appdl.boxee.tv
do you have another computer in this network? if yes, please run the command:
nslookup appdl.boxee.tv
and post the command response here.

I also wanted to tell you the ip 192.168.1.5 is on my linksys e3000 router as a static DNS. I dont know or remember why but Ido have my xbox360 hooked up to the same router with the ports 88, 3074, 53 and 80. All are TCP/UDP. Attached is a file.

bert, looking at your nslookup, it is clearly that for some reason you cannot reach appdl.boxee.tv
this is why you cannot download applications.
This seems like a problem on your DNS server (with the IP address 192.168.1.5)

You have to ask yourself why do you have a static DNS defined and if you do not need it, remove it.
or "teach" this DNS to resolve appdl.boxee.tv
