Comment 33 for bug 515012

after investigating the problem in detail i found the following out:

my providers dns server seems to slow for the timeout:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/network.py", line 32, in __init__
    self.curl.perform()
error: (6, 'name lookup timed out')

the workaround is working because dyndns & google dns seem to be faster.

if i comment out the
# self.curl.setopt(pycurl.TIMEOUT, 15)
# self.curl.setopt(pycurl.CONNECTTIMEOUT, 8)

in File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/network.py"

it also works with my ISPs dns
