Do the file permissions for packages directory and files in it is rewriteable i.e 755 for folders and 666 for files. Are you installing your forum via some auto installer? Or installing same copy again and again.

yes (btw for files its 644.. but changing to 666 doesn't change anything).

I install clear version.. downloaded it from smf and then unarchived and upload all files from pc to host server via filezilla. Then install.. Difference from old working forum is forum version (2.0.2 vs 1.1.16) and direction of forum files (host root directory and host root directory + 1 folder named "newforum", where I upload all new, clear forum files and folders).

Do you have access to a command prompt on your server? Can you try and ping or run a tracert to simplemachines.org and let us know what response you get. If you don't know how to do this then you might want to ask your hosting company nicely to check it for you.

@ziycon you mean ssh ? I think his server is ok because his old forum  was fetching the file

Not necessarily SSH, if its a windows box it would be a cmd window. There is no harm in ruling it out as a point of failure, it helps narrow down possibilities as to the cause.
