Adrian: you and/or Cristian really need to give this program some attention.
the first two tracebacks seem to be coming from some sort of network connectivity issue (the failure occurs while trying to make a http connection). The last error at 08:34 is a fault code return by the server when anonymous access is attempted. The tracebacks are a result of the socket errors not being caught and handled gracefully. These are currently fixed in cvs.
