The next message says:

Error : could not load file http://www.bigleaguesports.net/blfb/exp ... .lg.tar.tz

Does anyone have suggestions? I am in two leagues and have no issues with the other league.
Do you connect to the internet from behind a proxy or in any way have to use a proxy to browse web pages?

I am guessing not based on your note that you say you have two other leagues that are working ok for you. Do you know if those two leagues also have the file download via HTTP, or do those leagues have managers download via FTP?

The first suggestion I would give to troubleshooting this is to do the following:

1) Within OOTPX, go to Game -> FTP Options and copy the URL listed there for Game File Location (use CTL-C to copy it, don't just manually write that address down)

2) Open a Web Browser and paste that URL into the web browser. (You should be able to use CTL-V to paste it into the address bar)

Are you able to download the file that way correctly, or does it time out as well? It is possible that you have a typo in the URL for the game file (which is why I ask for you to cut and paste the URL and not just hand type it in.
