This means that the server on the remote end timed out. I believe that the
default socket timeout is 30 seconds.

"
In a single-threaded program you can import the socket module and then 
use the socket.setdefaulttimeout() function to establish a longer timeout.

I remember running into this problem before on cga-3; I can't remember
if I did anything other than move my tile seeding to that machine (
rather than running it remotely) to fix the problem, so there may be
a networking issue at play here between you and Harvard's server.
