It's not safe to use Magento connect for installing extension , click this link for more information.

in the worst case, if you want immediate solution , Alternatively you can install the extension through FTP (like FileZilla). You can paste the extension key in this unofficial link and you can download the extension files. Let me know if you find any problems in this.

Note : As this is unofficial 3rd party site, there is no guarantee about security. but i tested many extensions, i did't faced any security problems....

Magento 1.8 – Magento Connect Blank Downloader Page

I managed to solve my problem reading this post, I hope this answer will be useful.

My magento installation was missing php5-ftp and php5-zlib extensions. Magento calls gzcompress and ftp_connect with the error-suppression operator @ in front. This means there won't be any error messages, neither in the logs.

The following commands did the job.

zypper in php5-zlib
zypper in php5-ftp
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
