Thank for the replies guys.
I'm pretty certain it's not a packaging. Partly because I have Jon's 
build in a Mint 11 install and I using the same network, was having the 
same result.

Couple of things I have to look at:

1. My router
I have a feeling it's on it's last legs. But it's not causing problems 
for me with the BT sync, which usually happens with flaky routers.

2. My ISP
Entanet have been really good for me for years. But I'm going to contact 
them.
Partly because on another subject. I have noticed Linux .iso's via 
bittorrent will scream down then suddenly it drops off to Zero for a few 
seconds, then comes right back.

flvstreamer just seems to deal better with the hang and picks up again 
(assuming it is a hang we are getting) But I see what you mean Jon.

Thanks
