Mine hangs occasionally too. I just set up a loop with some sleep() time, and
retry it,
like this, which just now happened....

vestrymen 1:26am
 -- Error downloading file 'timeout in TCP dialog.'
 -- No reply, retrying...
 1:29am  -- zakristija | zagrad | kapelica | odbor cerkvene ob_ine | Pupnijski o
dbor | skupÜ_ina cerkvenih odbornikov | prostor | dvorana za take skupÜ_ine | za
kristija | vestrymen |
