Nope, this is a known issue. It happens a lot on Test Grid, where there are nodes which are offering storage service but which disconnect abruptly without saying goodbye or which take ages (minutes) to respond to your requests. I encounter it frequently because my blog is stored on Test Grid. It doesn't happen very often grids with higher-quality storage servers. Here are some probably- relevant tickets: #193, #253, #287, #436, #521, #573. I would love it for this to get fixed. Maybe someone wants to contribute to Tahoe-LAFS by fixing this issue? > I also got somewhat confused by "docs/running.html" somewhat > arbitrarily referring to "nodes", "clients", "grids", "servers", > "clients" and "introducers".
