What does a timeout occurred mean

[gwit]

This should probably go into the noobs section but I don't know what it means and I am getting lots at the moment. I suspect it a BT internet issue !!

Try lowering your connection speed in the client loader, I've used 384k for years. I still sometimes have to login twice though.

Not 100% sure it helps, but I suspect if the game assumes you are on a low connection speed maybe it waits longer before treating it as a timeout.

It means that your connection timed out; and it's MA's side afaik.

edit: it's bloody anoying; in the time it takes to log in; I literaly can drive to the server farm where EU is hosted.
