interesting... not sure why you client is having issues getting downloads.

My suggestion would be trying to give the client the data directly and just skip downloads. There are a number of ways of doing this. But the easiest would be to git clone the data from here: http://gitorious.org/tmwdata/ Then use the -d option to point the client to the data, and the -u option to skip updates.

Something kinda like this: Once you get the data you can just run the last line when you want to start the client. Once in awhile you need to do this:
This will ensure your client data is up to date.
