make sure that you completely disable the firewall software you are using. Just disabling Kaspersky wasn't enough, I had to "Exit" it. Make sure your firewall software, antivirus, etc. Check by uninstalling if you need to.

Re: This works with me

Thankyou very much. I killed Kaspersky completely, and everything is working great. It's a temporary solution. If I ever get my hands on Delphi 7 (actually, I only found the trial Key from Borland's site, not a download), I'll look into it. Something is definitely weird going on.

The error occurs even if I download info for one movie and on the first fetch. The interesting thing for the movie "Reeker", it didn't work for the URL tt=1; but it did for s=all;. For the second case, it brought up a list of choices of which then it was downloadable.

However, for the movie "My ...

Could there be a limit while downloading of 32768 bytes? The counter is stuck at 32k just before it says there is the "Read Timeout". I doubt it though, half of the other's work. So this problem doesn't occur all the time.

I guess, I don't have Delphi, so I won't be able to debug the software to ...

Any ideas how I can investigate this further? I've had this for quite some time now (few months). I've got some freetime at last. Unfortunately, I can't go deeper than the line "GetPage(Address)" to find out what's going wrong. The error just says "Read Timeout" and it comes up pretty fast (within 1 ...

IMDb doesn't always work

I've tried importing a few movies from IMDb. I notice that the "Description" field doesn't get downloaded anymore and for many sites I get the error "Read Timeout".
