More to this issue that might affect only those living below the latitude 38° S...
I was having download interruptions when using the launcher to fetch templates, so I changed the ZnNetworkUtils defaultSocketStreamTimeout to 120 (default is 30) and in the last two templates I downloaded I had no issues, it was slow, but at least without interruptions. Maybe the download manager I mentioned in the previous email had a highter timeout as well. Given that the INRIA file server hasn't the fastest upload link, I think that rising the timeout from 30 to something at least the double is a reasonable workaround. Regards, Esteban A.
