Yes, indeed, that is precisely what happened: I forget which version 
last updated automatically, but then they changed the web site and 
forgot to update the program to go to the new web site.

Today, if you're still using one of the older versions that gives 
that error message, you have to go to the N1MM+ website itself and 
then purposely choose the latest version, which has been updated with 
the new web site. Actually, if you peruse the log of versions, you'll 
find the precise version where this got broken, and it was the 
version immediately following the version I was using. I ignored the 
error message for a week or so but finally, when attempting to load 
the latest version and files in preparation for the GACW contest, I 
decided to fix the problem. I tried clicking on "Check for New 
Program Version and Install" and that led to another message on some 
web site that I needed to manually choose and download the latest 
version because the older "new" versions had the old, obsolete web 
site embedded within them. I did so and hey el Presto: it updated 
just fine, and I've since downloaded several more updates (these 
days, they all seem concerned with ft8 which I do not, and never 
will, use unless I get tired of watching dripping paint dry... or the 
grass is growing superfast, whichever comes first). So the latest 
versions really haven't done anything really worthwhile (unless you 
have an Icom 7610, whereupon they'll fix several problems with 
displaying the second spectrum waterfall, too).
