How long does it take for the error to pop up?

How long ago did this problem start for you?

Hmm... I think maybe 5 seconds?

It has been doing this for a month or two.

Last night it took me 25 minutes to get my sync to work.

Here, try using the attached copy instead (this is actually the copy in the newest version of the mod if you were to do a clean re-install of the mod).

This one should take 25 seconds before timeout. The original version of the downloader was set to timeout after 5 seconds, but since the data sets have grown, I've extended it to 12 seconds, and now to 25 seconds.

Let me know if this helps.

That did the trick. Thanks
