I'm seeing the same problem as describe here. But I haven't been able to fix the problem by updating to the latest version. There was some improvement, but I'm still seeing the sine wave type behavior, and I also am having problems, such that when I try to upload a file, due to this behaviour, that the link is lost, and I can't complete the upload.
