What is then the message on the server when it hangs?

Strange, typically you'd expect this to be the other way around, with reboots 
fixing things :-)

Just to make absolutely sure:

* both client and server are on beta 11b?
* you never manually copied Mnemosyne files or directories between client and 
server? I.e. delete the *entire* Mnemosyne folder on the client, start 
Mnemosyne, notice that your database is empty, and then sync to the server?

Perhaps... Unfortunately, the way to debug this is rather complex, with 
running a program called wireshark to capture all the network traffic.

Could be... Is your server an old machine? When there is not a full sync (full 
sync: messages like 'getting entire binary database) but an incremental sync 
(messages like getting/sending log entries), how long does a sync typically 
take? Few seconds? Half a minute? Minutes? Normally it's a matter of seconds, 
but if for some reason it's slow on your machine, we might need to increase 
the default timeout.

When you get the timeout on the client, after how much time is this?

Cheers,

Peter
