Add the video.info IP address into your local HOSTS file.
For Windows:
- Start ->run -> %windir%\system32\drivers\etc
- Rht Clk on file HOSTS (note no extension)
- Open with Notepad or any plain text editor
- add a line: 178.254.0.44 videodb.info
*ALERT
If the site page IP address ever changes, you will of course be forcing a connexion to a non-existent server.
- the entry will need changing
fyi.: you can verify all this by similarly using RUN -> ping -t videodb.info
or
tracert videodb.info
I expect you will find very high packet travel times.
ping -t videodb.info
-> you will observe high ping times, hence your timeouts
