Just reconnected a computer to the network, and when it tried to download a couple dozen new work units, about one third of them aborted with network errors. This could be a symptom of a server configuration problem, leading to dropped connections, leading to excessive demand on the server, leading to the generally familiar access problems. Just a thought.

A few lines of messages pasted for reference, in case some admin has logs to trace these from. Times are EDT.
