Hi Brendan, sorry for the delay ... Sometimes I had load failures on Windows too (Pivot web site at Apache, like other Apache web sites is a live snapshot of svn repository, so some problem of this type could happen), so when happens I try to close all browser instances and clean Java cache (even installed applets and jars, from the related command in the Java plugin) ... and this solve my problems, I understand that this is not the best, but it happens only "sometimes" (and in my case only few times) so I don't think it's a big issue, and could be dependent to low bandwith or other network things.
A useful trick is to tell the Java Plugin to Open the Console, maybe some other info could be written there (and you can even set an higher log level), then post here ... Important: note that for example with any version of Java 7 on Windows 64 even the download of jars hangs (even non-Pivot, the update of eclipse, netbeans, etc), I opened last year an issue at Oracle on this but it's still open, and in this case we can't do so much. Can you try and tell us something ? And if someone other with Mac can try (I'm sorry but I can't) ... Thanks, Sandro
