In other words, something didn't go right on the server. The fact that you retry and download correctly indicates that all is now well. It's a transient error of some kind. I doubt there is anything wrong with Entourage, and doubt there is anything you can do to eliminate this problem. Perhaps 2004 is a bit more sensitive to the error condition than X was, or the timing has somehow changed. Try reporting it to your Earthlink support people and see what they say. Or, run a trace with TCPflow (if you know how), and post that here; maybe someone who knows the guts of TCP can figure out exactly what's happening. But, frankly, if it were me, since retrying works, I would just live with it. Too much bother to try to track it down. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
