I have ran into the same thing with some servers. Sometimes it will get |
37 |
half way through then stop. I use the same server you have as your new |
38 |
one and it seems to work fine for me as well. Maybe that server needs |
39 |
some adjusting. |

By any chance, would you have a dial-up connection that is somewhat |
42 |
slow? Mine connects at 26K and I think sometimes it just take to long |
43 |
to get it and the servers disconnects me. |
