    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. private var url = "http://unity-tutorials.com/forum/images/avatars/10780705364a649618747b0.jpg";

    hi Guys,

    Last version of Unity

    Same problem here, time out errors.

    Is there a way to avoid these errors or relaunch the www download?

    I tryed with www.isDone but the timeout is still there in random

    @francksitbon how did you go mate? Have you tried it on different servers at all?

    I find I can successfully store and retrieve with my perl and cg scripts on my server when accessed through a html page in a browser. But using WWW in the Unity editor I cannot achieve storage of retrieval. I've tried storing binary form and SQL data following other people's examples and tutorials, no dice...

    A restart of unity solved this problem on my machine.

    A restart solved the issue for me to. I think Unity got itself stuck in a state when my internet was disconnected and it didn't recover even though I was already back online. Latest 4.6.1f.
