PayPal Timeouts (28) Connect timed out!

We're getting a lot of timeout notices from Paypal lately. When I check the CURL log files I can see the errors, but I have no idea what's causing them or what the log file is telling me.

Any suggestions as to what I should be looking at? I've pasted the contents of one file below, if that helps. I've xxxxxxed out any personal information, but otherwise the file is untampered.

Thanks,

John

Re: PayPal Timeouts (28) Connect timed out!

Report it to your hosting company and to PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/mts
It might be related to a problem ATT has been having lately with their segment of internet traffic between your host and PayPal, but if it is, then both parties need to weigh in to get it fixed ASAP.

You can test it without making a payment/transaction by using a script on your site at: /extras/curltester.php?paypal=1

Re: PayPal Timeouts (28) Connect timed out!

We're getting exactly the same error message on our zencart v1.3.9!

It started about 2-3 weeks ago and then the error went away for a few days and now its constantly popping up with this error! We've contacted the hosting provider and they checked everything from their side and it seems be ok...CURL is running so it can't be that...

Please can someone help??

Re: PayPal Timeouts (28) Connect timed out!

As I said above, the problem is almost certainly communications between your hosting company and PayPal. You need to get those two parties to get the problem fixed.
