Why not fetch the file from the network first, then edit it locally, and
maybe later (after you're satisfied with the edits _and_ your connection
is back on) save the local editfile and upload it back?
You can do the download/upload outside of Vim (before and after the edit
session), or else use |:saveas| to save the file locally just before you
disconnect, and again to save the edited file to its proper remote
location after you reconnect.
If you forget, and disconnect without saving, Vim still has the file in
memory. Save it _immediately_ (as soon as you regain control) on the
local drive, and you'll be rid of those annoying hangs since you're now
editing a local file. Of course, don't forget to upload it back when the
connection is available again.
Best regards,
Tony.
