** Description changed:

  Connections over a proxy server (a HTTP caching instance of
  trafficserver 5.1 in my case) often timeout because the tolerance of a
  minimal latenccy introduced by the proxying is extermely low. The
  default values should be increased to avoid pointless annoyance of the
  user who might have to invoke `ubuntu-bug package` ten or twenty times.
+ 
+ Working around the issue by disconnecting and reconnecting to the
+ internet (with the `network-manager` applet and possibly others)
+ increases chances to be able to upload the report, i.e. immediate
+ failure of a new attempt to upload data with `ubuntu-bug` after the
+ reconnection is rare.
