I have pinpointed the location a few times, but I have no idea about the reason.

After being unable to accces JRiver.com a few times in May, I started to check the connection with tracert and save the logs. I expected that the problem would be eventually fixed after you have informed the service provider (I assume that Bob has not moved to Arizona
), but apparently it still occurs from time to time.
EDIT
I converted the precise file creation times to US Central Daylight Time:
July 30, 05:05 AM
July 28, 08:23 AM
June 15, 05:11 AM
May 24, 08:14 AM
I have never seen the problem occur later during the day (in CDT time).
