(Strange, though, that no one else has seen this over the last several years.) It's hard to tell what's going on since the wndow blanks out, but I've had to "force quit" up2date several times and restart it. It's giving every appearance of timing out due to unresponsive servers, a problem I thought had been eliminated.
