Hello,
We've had various reports with this error message over the years. The cause
is usually a server side or network issue, but there doesn't seem to be a
common theme of one particular cause. Causes have ranged from anything from
antivirus software to network configurations to firewalls to old versions
of SVN on the server. If you search for the exact text of the error message
in our mailing list archives (see [1], you'll find discussions and
(hopefully) what fixed it for different people. There's also the
StackOverflow question at [2].
You mentioned that you are using Subversion Edge. Do you know whether the
version of Subversion Edge on the repository server is the latest
available?
>From your screenshot it appears you are using TortoiseSVN on the client
(your computer). What version of TortoiseSVN are you using?
Also do you know whether you're going through a proxy?
Is the repository server on the same LAN as your client computer, or across
a VPN, or...?
When you say it stalls, is there a noticeable delay? Approximately how long
(seconds? minutes?)
Cheers,
Nathan

The gods only know. You've not stated what kind of server is involved,
nor any hint of whether the repo has huge commits nad may be timing
out, nor whether there is an intervening proxy. Such vagaries of
Apache bsed Subversions are one reason I prefer SSH based access. Can
you use svn+ssh?

Unable to Check Out SVN Folders
Hello there,
I'd like to check out a number of SVN folders, but with each one I run into
an error where after checking out a few documents, it stalls, and then
gives me this error:
*Checkout Failed!*
*Error: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed
by the remote host*
When I delete the folder and give it another try, sometimes it will get
through more documents, sometimes it gets through less, but it never
actually finishes. I have tried using different internet connections, but
get consistent errors.
Very new to Subversion Edge and would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Cam
