Do you use a Fritz!Box? Probably an older model?

It's a know issue with some routers: they stall long-running http
streams without notifying the client, you will see issues with other
long-running streams like internet radio as well. Websocket clients like
facebook are also affected but you usually don't keep those open long
enough on a mobile device for it to matter.

I've tried different kinds of heartbeats to fix this but it's not easy.
There's no straightforward way to diagnose this since the router keeps
the connection open and just doesn't relay any data anymore.
