File Segment Retry

user-2310

I know you are not able to help with network errors but I am curious why I get repeated failures on the first segment:

It seems like GIP is having trouble syncing up the stream. I can't see how this can be a network issue if it only happens at the start. Occasionally it affects the first 2 or 3 segments but the rest run just fine - as shown above.

Any thoughts?
