You are referring to solutions for the access permissions on the 
/dev/ttyUSB0 device node, but at the same time you attach a logfile that 
indicates you are able to open the device successfully. So that means 
whatever you did to the /dev/ttyUSB0, it already worked!

To fix the high number of timeouts and NAK's during the communication, 
you'll need something completely different. The libdivecomputer master 
branch (v0.5.0-devel) already contains a fix for this issue. I don't see 
any evidence of this fix in your log, so I assume you are using an older 
version. Upgrade and downloading should work again.
