Hello, I want to install a subversion on my eclipse.
So I went to Help < Install New Software and when I pick the "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" in the "Work with" dropdown, it tells me in the main box "No repository found at http://...".
It is appearing in my available software sites and when I test the connection it returns me an error saying Unknown host.
Can someone please help me, I really need to install that subversion :).

As mention in this thread, this could be a proxy issue:
I assume you mean you used a web browser to get that - if so, is it configured to use a web proxy? If your browser is using a proxy then you need to configure Eclipse to use one too (see the General/Network Connections preference page).
Since 3.5 Galileo, The Network Connection page has been changed to better show the current proxy configuration.
Now if you go to
Preferences > General > Network Connections, you are able to see and change Eclipse proxy settings as well as see settings provided by the operating system.
If you want to use your browser or Gnome settings, or you have your proxy configured using environmental variables on Linux, you can see them all in this new UI
So to set your proxy, you can follow this tutorial (How to configure Proxy Settings in Eclipse)
I'm not sure which Subversion client you use but neither of them can be installed from the main Galileo site. Follow the instructions on the web page of the Subversion plug-in how to install it.
The severity of the bug is downgraded, since there is a workaround. Open the eclipse.ini file and add the following -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
In a few words the above command says that Eclipse can access the web via the *.pac files of the HTTP clients (eg Internet Explorer or Firefox).
To summarize:
Add the above line at the ini file ensure that your default system http client (eg Internet Explorer) has proxy settings configured Go to Eclipse Window->Preferences->Network Connection and enter the proxy setting here as well It should work with this workaround
