"The target machine actively refused it" partial download

[Dayle Diamond]

I've seen people with proxy servers get this message before.
But now I'm getting it halfway though a download, right after a successful upload.
No change in internet settings halfway through the download. I'm on attempt 4 now, and it still fails.

Can you open http://128.252.203.11 in your usual browser ?

Yup, it opens with no problem.

My computer got work again, and I don't know what changed.
My logs now show successful transfers from that server.

I'm thinking whatever went wrong didn't stay wrong for long.
