My F10 netbook is using a wireless connection, so I too find that it displays 
'Loading...', but after 30 minutes, at the refresh time, it does indeed 
refresh.  Maybe a bug report should suggest that it tries, say, 5 minutes 
after a failure?  But then, if it fails again, would it go on trying for ever, 
every 5 minutes?
