Hello,

not familiar with ALisp or cl-s3 (or Windows, thank Supreme Being), but some
quick thoughts:

- is this a recurrent problem? Single events of long delays in
connecting could arise from multiple reasons (e.g. high server load, DNS
delay, ...).

The global behavior (a simple hang) has been consistent and unfailing. Only recently did I dig as deep as the make-socket call, but again every time i see the same thing: a 30-60second pause at make-socket, which then returns and the rest of the code chugs on a few more yards before a final hang.


- reference to hostname vs. IP address is not always an indication of
underlying problems. Your system seems to be able to map hostname to
IP address in both cases.

OK. Thx. I am googling now for a packet sniffer....
