[bt-devel] Any known issues in 1.6.x with bookshelf manager?

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi all,
I got a report about timeouts of the ftp connection to the crosswire server in 
1.6.5.1. Are there any known issues about it?

The user does not have a proxy configured.

The original message:

followup:

>No, it will just sit till it times out.
