"Can't read stream because the TCP connection..."

[Phil Wolff]

This might be related. 

When subscribing to an RSS feed, I often get this
error message. 

<snip>
Can't subscribe to the channel. The most likely cure
is to check the URL in a web browser and see if you
can get it to read the feed. The following message
probably won't help you figure out what went wrong,
but we include it here because it might. "Semaphore
timer expired after 3600 sixtieths of a second."
</snip>

This despite being able to pull the rss feed up in IE
using my DSL connection.
