Sometimes it will get half way through then stop. I use the same server you have as your new one and it seems to work fine for me as well. Maybe that server needs some adjusting. By any chance, would you have a dial-up connection that is somewhat slow? Mine connects at 26K and I think sometimes it just take to long to get it and the servers disconnects me.
