Hi Fabrizio,
There's no other errors in the xroot log.
The server does not appear heavy, though there may well be congestion at
the switch level at the moment.
The servers are still running a quite (read very) old version of the
xrootd server software but the client I tried first was one from March
this year but then I switched to the same release as the server incase
the cause was a protocol mismatch. Could the timeouts be on the server
side if it's running an old version?
Thanks,
Chris.
