I guess this problem only occurs in I.E. and not in FF, Opera, Safari…

I use FireFox and I encountered this problem. Also, IO error is not dependent on web browser.

I had the same problem and I use FF. Then I tried to do it with IE and I noticed that it was working offline. I turned IE on and moved again to FF and it solve the problem!. Best.
