Unable to install Force.com IDE plugin for Eclipse Juno 4.2

Hello, I'm trying to install the Force.com IDE plugin for Eclipse Juno 4.2 on a Windows 8 machine and for some reason I am getting a "could not find repository" error message. For some reason, I think the repository no longer exist because in my old machine where I had Force.com IDE eclipse all my life no longer works either. Any advise or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Step #3  "In the Add Repository dialog, set the Name to "Force.com IDE" and the Location to "http://media.developerforce.com/force-ide/eclipse42" and click OK. (Use the same URL for Eclipse 4.3.)"

I installed from the 'Eclipse Marketplace' option. That is where you need to look for latest version.

From https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation at the bottom of the page:
"Problem
Installation fails with the message, "No repository found at http://media.developerforce.com/force-ide/eclipse42. Error reading update site http://media.developerforce.com/force-ide/eclipse42."

Solution
Configure Eclipse to use your proxy server. These settings can be found in your Eclipse Preferences, under General > Network Connections."

It so could be a connection problem (I could not be of more help sorry)

May the Force.com be with you!
