I too have seen this error several times and I am convinced it happens in the presence of an unreliable network. The network I am using is very unreliable so this problem is seen from time to time. When it happens the checkout has to be cleaned, then if the command is tries again it usually works.

Error: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host When I delete the folder and give it another try, sometimes it will get through more documents, sometimes it gets through less, but it never actually finishes. I have tried using different internet connections, but get consistent errors. Very new to Subversion Edge and would really appreciate any feedback.

The cause is usually a server side or network issue, but there doesn't seem to be a common theme of one particular cause. Causes have ranged from anything from antivirus software to network configurations to firewalls to old versions of SVN on the server. If you search for the exact text of the error message in our mailing list archives (see [1], you'll find discussions and (hopefully) what fixed it for different people. There's also the StackOverflow question at [2]. You mentioned that you are using Subversion Edge. Do you know whether the version of Subversion Edge on the repository server is the latest available? >From your screenshot it appears you are using TortoiseSVN on the client (your >computer). What version of TortoiseSVN are you using? Also do you know whether you're going through a proxy? Is the repository server on the same LAN as your client computer, or across a VPN, or...? When you say it stalls, is there a noticeable delay? Approximately how long (seconds? minutes?)
