Cloud I/O

There must be a fundamental problem with the cloud interface. Since the 
upload/download of cloud data is active, I assume this means that the 
credentials for accessing cloud storage are in place. My cloud 
repository should be empty. Since resetting this repository, I tried on 
a number of occasions to upload four test dives comprising about 250 
kBytes of XML onto the cloud storage without any success. I get a 
message saying that the cloud storage could not be located and that only 
the local repository was updated.

Then I tried download. The repository should be empty. However, After 
Subsurface has run for over 70 minutes, I get the screen depicted in the 
attached image. It has downloaded 20% of the repository.   See the 
highlighted text in the terminal within the attached image. My router is 
working furiously and a large amount of information is being passed on 
the Internet. However if I ping cloud.subsurface-divelog.org, there is 
no response. This fits with the message when uploading the test dives. 
But maybe the cloud server is set up not to respond to ping requests. 
Several of our servers are set up that way.

Irony is, only a few days ago I was able to read from and write to the 
cloud storage, including a reference copy of V4.5.1 that I keep. Now 
that version as well as 4.5.2-336 behave identically as far as I can see.

Kind regards,
willem
