208 is a communication issue talking to either manifest.swtor.com or cdn-patch.swtor.com

usual causes are antivirus and/or firewall or a net routing issue but it would be highly unlikely to still be occurring after several months

Kaperskey - disable "scan secure/encrypted connections"

Norton (Firewall) - set exceptions to "Allow" not "Auto"
