Unresolved Cant maintain connection to xpg

Okay so basically every time I tried to download 360Revolution from xpg it would get roughly 30% through the download and then my download speed drops to 0. Ended up using a web proxy host and for some reason that allowed me to maintain my connection and download the software.

Part2, since 360Revolution connects to xpg to check / update / login I find that I still cannot maintain a connection. It will try to update, load maybe 25% of the update then hang. After awhile I get a .NET framework error saying the connection had been lost. Ive tried running it on my laptop and my PC with the same results, perhaps my ISP <Verizon> doesn't like you guys very much?¿?

Any thoughts/suggestions?
