[mythtv-users] Problems with mythfilldatabase

 I am a new mythtv user and I'm having problems with the mythfilldb program.

When i run it (and since I'm still setting up myth, I'm doing this
manually and usually around 8-10pm CST) it downloads x bytes and then
stops (x varies in size usually between 10k and 50k). mythfilldb will
then say it is retrying and start again (which downloads y bytes and
stops (x and y are not necessarily the same).

Days *will* be downloaded successfully (either initially or after some
number of retries), but the overall process takes a very long time (it
has never completed in less than an hour).

Has anyone else seen these kind of "retrying" / "connection reset by
peer" errors? Any ideas of things to look at? The download speed (when
actually downloading and not "stuck") is normal for my internet
connection (satellite).

I'm getting the following results from mythfilldatabase:
