hi,

i have problems downloading movie / music / anything information using xbmc. after digging a little bit i found the following messages in the log:

ERROR: FillBuffer - curl failed with socket error

or

CFileCurl::CReadState::Open, didn't get any data from stream.

but most of the time its the socket error. now - my internet connection is ok and curl runs just fine from the command line. also if i retry often enough it works. sometimes i only get partials (eg fanart pics with only half the content).

i have this issue with the latest git build, with the gentoo 10.1 build and with internal or external libs.

actually i'm running out of ideas here and it really annoys me since updating the library is f... pain.

using google i also found the following ticket describing exactly this error:

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11391 (it's 5 month old and not commented)

is there anybody having the same issue or even might have a fix for that?

cheers, frank
